You can visit the minisite here (the correct link), but their site seems to be having a few issues. The link in the tweet doesn't work and the minisite claims it's "out now".
Sadly, it seems multiplayer is only macOS and Linux, with no support with playing with Windows gamers, which means the multiplayer will again be limited. Even so, I'm still excited and will likely resume my weekly livestreams with someone from Feral like I did with Dawn of War II. Even if Feral won't do weekly games for it, I likely will arrange something to get the community going for it. If you're interested.
Dawn of War III will be available through the Feral Store and Steam for $59.99/£39.99/59,99€. It seems there will be no release-day sale for the Linux version.
David Stephen, Managing Director, Feral InteractiveWe’re delighted to bring such a hugely anticipated game to macOS and Linux. Dawn of War III’s epic single-player campaign and visceral multiplayer combine to deliver an exhilarating experience on a vast scale.
They have a trailer up now too:

As long as there's no cross platform multiplayer confirmed I'll ask Linux Gamers not to buy the game. Feral really should learn there lesson not to release multiplayer games like this.
If they could fix that issue I'll buy the game instantly at the Feral store and recommend people buying. I might consider buying it also for friends who are playing Multiplayer with me then. (:

Quoting: LeopardAlso it is a F2P title , so how can you expect to Feral make money on that?
Feral makes money by porting software and getting paid for it. Feral does not necessarily make money from a share of every sold unit. That depends on the contract. With F2P titles, they might get a flat amount of payment, or they might get a share of the in-game-revenue.
Quoting: rea987Lastly, installing Linux to my friends' computers in order to play with them? Sure, I would do that 6 years ago but not any longer; that's how you become "free of charge IT guy". No thanks.
Ah, it seems I neglected to put smileys on my earlier post suggesting such installation, having forgotten the unfortunate scarcity of levity-detectors among internet users.

Quoting: lucifertdarkGAME want's £49.99 for the game, £20 more than Feral are asking for it, from what I just read they're charging the extra for 3 player character skins & the soundtrack.
What makes you think that? The game is £50 / $60 / €60, Feral can't change that.
