Already my favorite RTS this year, Tempest Rising is going full Command and Conquer by adding superweapons

The upcoming update for Tempest Rising will introduce two new superweapons: the Drone Strike Station for the Global Defense Force (GDF) and the Excavator Platform for the Tempest Dynasty. The Drone Strike Station allows players to call in orbital strikes and deploy nine tungsten Drone Turrets, while the Excavator Platform can create shockwaves, transport units underground, and restore health to infantry. These additions aim to enhance gameplay strategies for both factions.

Tempest Rising’s next update will add massive superweapons that’ll let you ‘unload devastating payloads onto the enemy’

Slipgate Ironworks is introducing two new superweapons for the factions in Tempest Rising: a drone strike station for the Global Defense Force (GDF) and an excavator platform for the Tempest Dynasty. The GDF's drone strike station allows for drone strikes at designated coordinates, while the excavator platform can launch surprise attacks from underground and deploy a combat excavator that causes shockwaves. There is speculation about the potential introduction of a third playable faction, as the alien Veti currently serve as an AI adversary.

The original Dawn of War games have 109 new Steam achievements after 20 years—if you have the definitive edition, at least

The definitive edition of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War has introduced achievements for players, a feature that was absent in earlier versions. The GOG version also includes these achievements, which allow players to track their progress. A comprehensive list of achievements includes objectives such as winning a skirmish and multiplayer match with each faction, experiencing every ending across story campaigns, eliminating 666 space marines while playing as chaos marines, and deploying each of the game's relic units. Players need to engage with online opponents to unlock all multiplayer-related accolades, including the ambitious achievement "The Grim Darkness of the Far Future," which requires eliminating 40,000 enemy units. The new achievements do not retroactively account for previous gameplay due to challenges in integrating existing stat tracking, but players can replay the final mission of completed campaigns to earn credit.
