DoW3, anyone? Possibly?

So, it looks like Relic might be up to some Dawn of War based hi-jinks in the near future...

I followed the WhoIs lookup link (in the article linked above) and it is indeed registered to Sega, with a @relic.com e-mail address too.

Of course, it could just be protecting the address and the IP from people trying to make a cheap buck if Relic/Sega did decide to do another Dawn of War, or it could be them getting ready to announce something?

Thought I'd put it here in case anyone was interested. :-P

Yeah, I know what you mean. It would be highly unusual for the whole company to be working on COH2. I'd expect at least a few people to be working on "whats next" and it wouldn't be at all odd for one or two others to be looking at completely new IP and ideas. You'd probably also have an engine team working on the engine itself instead of a game.

What would be interesting is that if they are ramping up into a DoW3 announcement, then the team size would sky rocket - most likely at the cost of CoH2, unless Sega invest in a new DoW team.

We will see. I really hope they combine the best from coh2 (capping) and DOW 1 (Base Building). I am a little worried that they won´t invest in a new engine (about time).

It won't be here for a while yet, it's their way of securing the domain as well as hyping people up. THQ had plans but Sega scrapped them, seems like now they're showing they are interested.

DoW III will be rocky at first, but I think they can strike a healthy balance between DoW I and DoW II.

They are working with a new engine and it's not a proprietary one this time!

As far as I remember Relics next game after Coh2 was suppossed to be called project Atlas which was suppossed to be a MOBA game (when they still were a part of THQ).

Tho it probably got canceled, until now everything hints at DoW3. A mix of DoW1 and DoW2 would be great for example comanders from DoW2, tho not such heroes like Lictor Alpha, WSE or Komando Nob, maybe only 2 instead of 3 heroes for balance sake.
I also hope that the scale will be big enough for controlable flying units.

+ elements of Coh2 like true sight and the way to capture points.

Companies don't have much incentive to work on games they have already sold; you/we should all be glad we get as much time and effort out of Relic as we do.

I really dislike DoW2; the smaller scale took much of the interest away for me. Plus I always found the symmetrical maps boring. I'll certainly be looking at DoW3, but mainly in the hopes that it is more COH-like than not.
