Whatever title it is, it would need to be made under a team that works to provide what the title's market actually wants. No Dawn of War succeeded as much as the first, but Relic leadership have twice shown that their intention was to sacrifice what was already successful in DoW 1 for the sake of chasing a different genre's audience. Twice they have done this. DoW's salvation will not come from such design decisions. Hell, pass 40k license to Creative Assembly if necessary, but those who insist on this "hybrid or bust" strategy cannot be allowed to touch this franchise again. If they want to chase MOBA players, just make a bloomin' MOBA and be done with it.
The MOBA audience is something most developers should steer clear of chasing. They're not going to compete with Riot or Valve for that market unless they bring something spectacular and new to table. Misguided hybrid ventures like DoW III won't cut it, that's for sure.
You're deluding yourself if you think a Dawn of War or Homeworld title (Homeworld isn't Relic/Sega intellectual property) is one of those projects, it will most likely be another Company of Heroes title as that is one of their most successful franchises and Relic have shown interest in gauging what people want from a CoH game.

My money's on CoH3. Dependant on AoE4 doing reasonably well. I won't be buying it but I will be watching it's progress after release with interest.
I too will be interested how AoE4 will look. As for Coh3, I might buy it after release if ever will be. About Dow4 I will definitively buy it, but I still have bitter taste after abandoning Dow3.
Wish if Dow4 could have sam or improved Elite system, with same or bigger scale of battle. Something like improved Dow3. Dreams of course, but always free.

Never Dow4, maybe Coh3

I would say DOW4, its pretty clear what people wanted.
And Probalby SEGA did say to cash it as new game, than a DLC.
New Homeworld would be nice^^

Not great news for me due to ditching Dow3, even if it is not what fans wanted.

Since you people still seem to be unaware, its CoH3.
And it'll happen in the Mediterranean theater, north Afrika, Italy, southern France.
There was a survey last year on the direction of CoH3 made by relic.

There was one particullar survey for DoW3, too...

LOL?! How can they make a Dow 4, if this was a failure? Are you living in a dream world?
