Dawn of War III - Making The Announcement Trailer
Hard to believe that it was almost a year ago that we got the first Announcement Trailer for Dawn of War III, as the game launches in just under 3 days the team behind the game give us a look at what went into creating the trailer that revealed the game to the World. Axis Animation, based in Scotland wanted to tackle themes that were at the core of the universe and try to do something different that the audience would not expect. With a focus on an endless cycle of war, in which everything continues and doesn't have an end in sight - soldiers live, they die and it repeats.
The team even went so far as to motion capture some of the elements within the trailer, such as the moment when a sandstorm hits - though the finished product looks much better than people with dots on their faces! One of the key points of the trailer was to highlight each of the 3 factions that the game would feature, from the Space Marines, to the Orks and Eldar with each one getting the spotlight.
Not long to wait now, Dawn of War III is out on April 27th and you can pre-order today to get the Masters of War Skin Pack for free!
