So when CoH3
@QuinnDuffy
We don't own the game any more - when THQ went bankrupt, Relic/THQ lost a lot of the IPs to other purchasers. Homeworld to Gearbox/Blackbird, Impossible Creatures to THQ Nordic etc. (IC is on steam with all the mods!) https://www.relic.com/article/8374

@treboruk92
Doesn’t Sega own Relic + CoH...?

Confirmed
Games Workshop DoW2 + Space Marine (lacking Sega trademarks?) soundtracks are coming to Vinyl (see below) AND collectible DoW3 statues selling for $1,349.00.
Yup, you heard that right.
Unconfirmed - educated guess:
Former Relic vets from Gasket Games make spin-off game from DoW2:Last Stand.
Relic "Atlas" Project? (see below).

Prime 1 Studio and Games Workshop are proud to present Premium Masterline
Warhammer 40 000: Gabriel Angelos from Dawn of War III.

Best of luck with the new studio.

EDIT. Updated with new info

Gasket Games is developing an exciting unannounced project on multiple platforms including PC and consoles.

But PC and consoles ARE multiple platforms, therefore I deduce its a mobile crap with console and PC ports

More confirmation?

Below Relic soundtracks on Spotify. Compare this old advertising & trademarks with the new Vinyl soundtracks:

Next, compare the Vinyl trademarks/ads which is not coherent with each other:
