THQ's confirmed the co-operative Last Stand mode from Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution will be released as a standalone downloadable title tomorrow, April 20.
The Last Standalone, as it's called, will allow newcomers to the series to play all of the content available for the Last Stand without the need to own a copy of Retribution "or any experience with RTS games," says THQ.
Players who then decide they'd like to play competitive multiplayer or the single player campaign for Dawn of War II - Retribution can upgrade at a reduced price.
Jeff Lydell, Producer of Dawn of War II Retribution commented: "We saw this as a unique opportunity to introduce new players to the Dawn of War franchise as well as expanding the player base for the already popular Last Stand mode."
Dawn of War II - Retribution- The Last Standalone is scheduled to be available to purchase from Steam for $10.
