The Dawn of War III Open Beta Kicks Off on April 21

//cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/1394/1394730.jpgAre you ready to fight for the Emperor? You'll get your chance when the Dawn of War III beta begins later this month.

If you've been waiting to see just how Dawn of War III turned out, but you missed the closed beta, you're going to finally get a chance to check out the game before its release. Sega and Relic announced today that the open beta for the upcoming real-time strategy game will kick off on April 21.

The beta will give players access to all three factions: the Eldar, the Orks, and the Space Marines, as well as a "selection of powerful elite heroes for each." Players will contend with each other in the game's multiplayer, and there will be no single-player content in the beta.

During the open beta, you'll also be able to check out the "Masters of War" skins that come free to anyone that pre-orders the game. They include the Dark Queen skin for Lady Solaria (Imperial Knight), the Ghost Seer skin for Farseer Taldeer (Wraithknight) and the Big Kustom skin for Beauty (Morkanaut).

The open beta will kick off at 1 PM ET on Friday, April 21, and run through 1 PM ET on Monday, April 24. If you're interested in participating, you can sign up now over on the official Dawn of War III website [http://www.dawnofwar.com/beta].

Yogscast just put up a 3v3 multiplayer. It hasn't allayed my fears.

After a couple thousand hours of all of the Dawn Of War games under my belt, I'm a bit over Space Marines, Orks and Eldar.
Bring on a Tau DoW or even a Chaos themed DoW of surviving in the Eye of Terror or something, just not Space Marines, Orks and Eldar......

Even better, how about a Firewarrior 2?

In a Crisis suit holding a Tau world from Tyranids, that's be very fun!

That would be so awesome and refreshing. Prove yourself and earn new battlesuits, then tear up hoards of Raveners in your shiny new Riptide. Hell, even a Kroot game would be awesome. Taking on the role of a Kroot mercenary, earning a living in the Tau Empire and on the fringes of the Imperium.

Well for me it's because everything, and I do mean everything, that has been shown so far looks absolutely underwhelming. It's like they went "Hey, let's get rid of all the good features in the previous two games and instead bring in a bunch of stuff from other games and genres and hope it works here too, lol!"
