Playable armies upon the initial release of the game will include the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids.
The gameplay of Dawn of War II is markedly different from that of Dawn of War and its expansions. Jonny Ebbert, the game's lead designer, describes the feel of the game by saying that it "takes everything that was great about the original and combines it with the best that Company of Heroes had to offer." There is a heavier focus on cover, which gives more substantial defensive bonuses. Accordingly, there is also new emphasis on methods of dealing with units in cover. Some weapons, such as grenades and other explosives, can destroy cover, while others, such as flamers, ignore cover bonuses completely. Other differences between Dawn of War II and its predecessors include improved unit AI (squads under fire seek cover, for example), more realistically sized vehicles, and an improved physics engine.
As a Games for Windows - Live game, the game will be one of the few PC games to use the Achievements system from the Xbox 360.
Campaign
Dawn of War II will feature a non-linear interplanetary campaign[6], playable as the Space Marines. The campaign can be played either as single-player or cooperatively with another player through an online connection.
The game's campaign will depart from those of its predecessors in several key features. One of the most notable departures is that there will be no base-building elements, unlike in the skirmish game mode and in previous Dawn of War titles. Relatedly, the player will choose the units to be used prior to beginning a mission, will not be able to build new units once the mission begins, and will only have limited reinforcement options.
A major part of the campaign will lie in choosing which battles and even planets to fight in, and there will be consequences regarding which missions are chosen. There may be multiple distress calls to answer, each available for only a limited duration. Once a mission is chosen, the player may still have to choose between various objectives, having to decide between saving civilians or obtaining a powerful piece of wargear, for example.
Once a warzone and mission is selected, the player will be able to choose only four squads to take part in the coming battle. However, each squad will be highly unique in its combat specialty, personality, and even the voice acting of its squad leader or sergeant. There will be a strong narrative focus on the sergeants of these squads who can increase in experience and skills as the campaign progresses, and cannot ultimately be killed. Rather than dying in a mission, squad leaders are "knocked out" and can be revived either by a friendly unit in close proximity or upon completing the mission.
The campaign will include many elements traditionally associated with RPG-style games. Squad leaders and commander units can be equipped with the wargear which is gathered from battlefields and slain enemies and by accomplishing objectives during missions. Throughout the campaign, as a Space Marine kills enemies and achieves objectives, he will gain experience, "level up," learn new abilities, and gain bonuses.

Dawn of War II was released to the public for beta testing on January 21, 2009, and it is scheduled to run until the game's release date of February 19, 2009.[16] Only purchasers of the Soulstorm expansion pack to Dawn of War were allowed to take part in the first phase of the beta.[17] On January 28, the beta became available to the general public.
