THQ announces plans to launch closed multiplayer beta testing of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution later this month, giving players the chance to check out Relic's upcoming RTS expansion. Here's word on how this will work: "The beta is scheduled to go live on Monday, January 31st when global press and key Dawn of War® community members will be given access. It will then broaden to include everyone who has pre-ordered Dawn of War® II – Retribution™ on STEAM to date on February 1st. Finally, anyone who has bought a Dawn of War game through STEAM or has registered a Dawn of War II product on their STEAM account will automatically receive an invite on February 8th. There will be no open registration phase to this beta."
