THQ has announced that its free DLC for Dawn of War II, The Last Stand, is now available worldwide.

In it, there’s an all-new cooperative survival mode which provides control of individual hero units and drops a small multiplayer team into a battle.

Players can choose between a Space Marine Captain, Eldar Farseer or Ork Mekboy and team up with two other squad-mates. Hero units level up and are fully customizable as new armor and weapons become available.

The Last Stand is included in an automatic update that also contains two new multiplayer maps, balance updates and bug fixes.

More information can be obtained through Relic’sofficial website.

Dawn of War II’s getting a new play mode in The Last Stand today – watch a video on how it works here.

Basically, you’ve got a marine team in an arena and you have to survive against increasingly tough waves of baddies. It’s got leaderboards, “arcade” style play, and so on.

Patch notes here.

The Last Stand is upcoming  multiplayer mode for Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II that will be a free download for players of the strategy title.

GameSpy got a hands-on preview, and the site says that two players will be controlling Heroes fighting off waves of enemies.

There is loads more than that through the link, along with a couple nice screens for it.

No word on when it can be expected, but word has it that it may be sometime in October.

Relic will be showing the new mode off at PAX 2009 next weekend, so hopefully we will know more then.

Eurogamer France a video of it. You should watch it.
