Dawn of War 2 - Retribution Announced; Multiple Races in Campaign and New Faction [Updated] Though Relic has been teasing something for a bit, it didn't stop screenshots under the label of "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution" from trickling out ahead of any o

The screenshots clearly show playable Orks within the game's item-based singleplayer mode, suggesting at least an Ork campaign. The characters seen are Kaptin Bluddflagg, Mister Nailbrain, Spookums, and Brikkfist.

[Update 12:05PM] Producer Jeff Lydell explains that the campaign will not only feature Orks, but multiple playable races. "We all love the [Space Marine] Blood Ravens here at Relic Entertainment," explains Lydell in the press release. "But there are also a lot of fans of the other races and armies out there so we decided that Retribution should allow the player the freedom to experience the campaign from the perspective they select."

"As well as the single player campaign, Retribution will feature new multiplayer units, maps and an entire new playable faction" that has not been seen before in Dawn of War II, leaving the Dark Eldar, Imperial Guard, Tau, and the Necrons up for grabs.

The game will be released in March 2011 for the PC.

A trailer has also been found, which can be seen below:
