Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Dawn of War II get free Anniversary Edition upgrades

Relic Entertainment / SEGA have announced that all players that have Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II have been given a free upgrade to the new Anniversary Edition.

From the announcements:

The fan-favourite and legendary release of Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2, originally developed by Relic Entertainment in 2004 and 2009 respectively, have just turned 20 and 15 years years old! To celebrate, we’ve put together two Anniversary Editions, collecting the original game with all its DLC and expansions, as well as a host of fun extras for fans. To celebrate 20 and 15 years of these seminal titles, the Anniversary Editions will be a free upgrade for all existing owners of Dawn of War 1, and Dawn of War 2!

So players who have Dawn of War will now get:

• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

Players who have Dawn of War II will now get:

• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising
• All additional DLCs such as exclusive multiplayer army skins, and campaign and Last Stand wargear previously only available as DLC packs.

This is really nice to see. Currently this change only seems to be live for the Steam versions.

Dawn of War II does have an old Native Linux version from Feral Interactive. Although you may wish to use Valve's Proton due to no cross-platform online play.
