Relic's upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is getting an Open Beta later this month running from April 22 to 25. Players will get access to all three playable factions in the game -- the Space Marines, Eldar, and Orks -- and get to battle it out in multiplayer. Each race will also come with elite heroes, further opening up the strategic possibilities. Now, with the game being released on April 27 this is more demo than beta.

Even so, we'll take it. Sign-ups for the beta are open now. As fans of the series we can't wait to get our hands on this as it looks very much like a blend of the original Dawn of War with a action-RPG styling of Dawn of War II.



Yep, tasty.
