Warhammer 40K Players Have 2 Free Game Upgrades to Download Now

Two Warhammer 40K games just treated players to upgrades and big sales.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 seems to have gotten many players hooked on Warhammer 40K given how popular the game's been since it released this year, but as Warhammer 40K players will tell you, there are plenty more games to try out beyond the flavor of the month. Two of those games -- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 -- have been out for 20 and 15 years, respectively, and may now seem much more attractive options for Space Marine 2 players looking to explore more of the Warhammer 40K franchise.

If that's the case for you, you're in luck, because both of those games just got new Anniversary Editions to bundle together the base games with DLCs for each of them. If you're a Warhammer 40K fan who already had these Steam games in your library from long ago but never got any of the extras for the Dawn of War games, you'll be happy to hear that both of the Anniversary Editions are being given away as free upgrades for existing owners. If you don't have either of them yet but are now interested because of Space Marine 2, both are on sale at 80% off so that the Anniversary Edition of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War only costs $7 while the Anniversary Edition of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 costs $10 from now until October 10th.

"The fan-favourite and legendary release of Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2, originally developed by Relic Entertainment in 2004 and 2009 respectively, have just turned 20 and 15 years years old! To celebrate, we've put together two Anniversary Editions, collecting the original game with all its DLC and expansions, as well as a host of fun extras for fans," To celebrate 20 and 15 years of these seminal titles, the Anniversary Editions will be a free upgrade for all existing owners of Dawn of War 1, and Dawn of War 2!"
