After halting the Chaos raid, a combined Imperial Guard-Blood Ravens strike-force returns to Aurelia to attack Legion forces dug into the area. Despite the presence of Eliphas the Inheritor, a former Dark Apostle from the Word Bearers Legion thought long dead on Kronus, the forces of Chaos are repelled. They later encounter Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion who are attempting to take over Angel Forge. After escaping the trap and leaving the area, the Force-Commander along with the Dreadnought Davian Thule move to rescue the Librarian Jonah Orion, who is under attack by Eldar forces that have unearthed ancient ruins and revived Wraithguards.Īfter receiving a distress call from Governor Derosa, the Blood Ravens proceed to Meridian's Angel Gate where bands of Orks, driven there by House Vandis forces, are looting the area. The distress signal turns out to be a trap, and the Blood Ravens are ambushed by traitor Guardsmen of House Vandis. The Force-Commander and his strike-force arrive on Planet Aurelia, along with the newly requisitioned Strike Cruiser "Retribution", after receiving a Blood Ravens encoded distress signal. One year after the events of Dawn of War II and the defeat of the Tyranid invasion (as well as the Eldar and Ork forces) of sub-sector Aurelia.
The multiplayer mode remains largely the same, with the new faction and other new units/upgrades changing the balance somewhat. The maximum level has been raised to 30 and there is the possibility of characters becoming corrupted by Chaos, gaining new powers in the process. The player still picks the commander and three other units for each mission, and each unit can be customized with skill points and wargear between missions. The campaign mode in Chaos Rising is shorter than the original campaign, but missions are longer and better designed (unlike the very similar random missions in Dawn of War II). The game is a fast-paced and action-oriented real-time strategy (RTS) game with heavy tactical elements, it could be classified as an action RTS or real-time tactics (RTT) as well as RTS. The new heroes were made available for owners of the original Dawn of War II as well. The Last Stand was also updated with two new heroes, the Hive Tyrant and Chaos Sorcerer, upon the release of Chaos Rising.

The release was also accompanied by a major update to the original game, adding new units to pre-existing factions and enabling all owners of Dawn of War II to play games against Chaos Space Marines even without their own copy of Chaos Rising. The expansion adds one new playable multiplayer faction, the Chaos Space Marines. Two of the new units, Chaos Bloodletters and Eldar Wraithguard Some missions also have a limited roster of Imperial Guard opponents, hinting at what Relic had planned for Dawn of War II: Retribution. Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising adds a new single-player campaign (the original co-op functionality remains) that introduces longer, more heavily scripted missions, a new character/unit (the Librarian Jonah Orion) and a return to Aurelia against a new faction, the Chaos Space Marines.
