THQ today announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is scheduled to bring the 41st Millennium’s savage warfare to life like never before in spring 2009.  Dawn of War II will take players to the brutal frontlines of war where they’ll experience intense action and combat through a non-linear single-player experience and a fully co-operative multiplayer campaign. Set in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 science fiction universe, Dawn of War II is being developed exclusively for Windows PC.

In addition, THQ announced that gamers purchasing copies of the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm will be able to participate in an invitation-only multiplayer beta program for Dawn of War II, set to take place at a future date.
