Relic's RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is getting a third expansion, which is a standalone affair.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, to give it its full and lengthy title, features "an extensive interplanetary campaign spanning an entire star system" according to THQ and introduces two new races - one of which has been confirmed as the Dark Eldar.

On top of that, the existing seven races will be the recipient of new units, air units are being introduced and a medal system is being added to online multiplayer.

Plus, the "meta-game introduced in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is further expanded to an interplanetary scale in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, allowing players to battle across an entire star system."

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm is due in spring 2008.
