Dawn of War III Trailers Shows Off Some Maps

Dawn of War III is looming closer, and as is standard marketing strategy nowadays, the amount of information and trailers ramps up quite terrifically. The latest video to come off SEGA's propaganda department is an environment showcase, and it's a pretty one. 

Featuring destructible features, the maps are bigger than previous Dawn of War's and are meant to accommodate the increased unit and squad sizes present in the third instalment. The video above is narrated Art Director Matt Kuzminski and Lead Environment Artist Tristan Brett, and they talk about the inspiration and design process behind these environments. According to the press release, the official list so far includes:

· Cyprus Ultima: Filled with details and history, Cyprus Ultima has a medieval style that expresses the war-ravaged way of life for people in the 41st millennium.

· Cage World: A true alien environment, Cage World’s ever-evolving landscape means the ground can literally shift beneath your feet, so you can never be sure where the battle will take you.

· Starfort: With massive structures towering over each battlefield, the scale of the weaponry on display in this gothic battle station is the ultimate in Imperium technology.

· Acheron: From first glance, where waves of lava clash against mountains of snow and ice, it’s clear that the elements aren’t all that’s at war on Acheron. Home to nothing but violence, the beautiful glaciers serve as frozen tombs for the battles of the past, and as the stage for some of the largest battles you’ll face in Dawn of War III.

Dawn of War III will be out later this year on Steam, release date TBA.
