Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War
"Descent: FreeSpace" was well received as a single-player space simulation that integrated all the desired features of its genre, from competent AI wingmen, to the presence of large capital ships that not only dwarf the fighters piloted by the player, but also explode spectacularly when destroyed. However, the game's multiplayer mode was criticised, as it was plagued by lag and inaccurate tracking of statistics. An expansion for the game, which was less well received, was also released in 1998 under the title of "Silent Threat", and focuses on events after the main game's campaign with the player working for an intelligence branch of the Terrans' armed forces that later attempt to overthrow the Terran government. A sequel to "Descent: FreeSpace" entitled "FreeSpace 2", was released in 1999 to critical acclaim.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Retribution
Relic had revealed that work had begun on a sequel, but with THQ having shut down, it is unknown if development has continued. As Sega has not arranged a licensing agreement with Games Workshop for "Warhammer 40,000", unless this situation changes in future, it is likely that development has halted on any further "Dawn of War" titles. However a new web page featuring "Dawn of War III" was opened up by Relic in September 2015. In October 2015, PC Games News wrote that they expected "Dawn of War III" to be released in 2016. "Dawn of War III" was displayed at E3 2016
