Dawn of War sequel a "strong possibility" from Relic despite Sega sale

It’s been three months since Relic were snapped up by Sega just as the jaws of hell closed around THQ, and we’re still conducting a slow and slightly upsetting headcount to see how many of the developers’ best-loved names have made it out with them. Company of Heroes was reported “intact” just days after the publisher switcheroo was announced. Homeworld fared less well - the venerable space strategy series was lost in transit, returned to sender and, we learned yesterday, resold to a new and unlikely owner. Last but not least, probably recovered from a dank corner of a removal truck in a cardboard box marked ‘Catering’, is Dawn of War. Which, if Relic have anything to do with it, aten't dead yet.

Well, I’ll be.

Blood Bowl: Star Coach gives the Warhammer bloodsport the Football Manager treatmentBeing a professional athlete in a sport like Blood Bowl is quite the hazardous profession, if you're not eaten alive by the opposition then you're either beaten to death, run into the ground until dead, or impaled on the goal posts. It's just not a safe place to be. Yet, if you can't resist the smell of freshly killed sportsman in the morning then you may be better off going into a management position.

That's just what Cyanide are letting you do in Blood Bowl: Star Coach, a newly announced free-to-play browser game that gives Blood Bowl the Football Manager treatment.

Space Hulk screenshots reveal the board game transmuted with turn-based tactics intactSpace Hulk is a new adaptation of the well-worn boardgame - the one that has fully-fledged humans scream in terror at pieces of plastic - for PC and Mac. It’s made by a somebody called Full Control who, and here’s the sound of a synapse forming a link in my brain, made the competent-if-linear XCOM-alike Tactical Soldier: Undead Rising for iOS.

Here’s what it looks like. Never has the onset of claustrophobia been so readily welcomed.

Warhammer: Total War now may be a thing; Creative Assembly acquire license for Warhammer series, Relic still have 40K

Bloody hell. Creative Assembly and SEGA have struck a deal with Games Workshop for multiple games set in Warhammer’s fantasy universe. A new development team has been set up at the West Sussex Total War studio and has already begun work on the first. We’re dubbing it Gnome: Total War.

Update: We have confirmed that Dawn of War forgers Relic still have their 40K license, as suspected. Phew.
