Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Definitive Edition - Interview on Fixing 20-Year-Old Typos

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is making a triumphant return with the announcement of Dawn of War Definitive Edition, an updated and enhanced version of the iconic real-time strategy game originally released over two decades ago. As a longtime fan of the original 2004 title, I was eager to dig deeper than the debut trailer (shown below) and uncover what's new. Channeling the precision of a seasoned Inquisitor, I reached out to Relic Entertainment’s design director, Philippe Boulle, for an in-depth look at this exciting revival.

Philippe Boulle joined Relic Entertainment in November 2005 and quickly became immersed in the Dawn of War universe, starting with the development of Dark Crusade, the second expansion pack for the original game. Since then, he has contributed to a wide range of titles including Soulstorm, Dawn of War 2, Chaos Rising, Space Marine, Company of Heroes 2, Dawn of War 3, and most recently, Age of Empires 4. With such a deep history at Relic and extensive experience working on Warhammer 40,000 games, Boulle is uniquely positioned to shed light on the changes coming in Dawn of War Definitive Edition.

In our conversation, we also discussed the unforgettable opening cinematic that helped define the tone of the original game, as well as hints about what the future might hold for the franchise—including inevitable questions about Dawn of War 4.
