The next update for Dawn of War II will add eight new multiplayer maps, a hearty spectator mode with referee options, and a list of balance changes as long as a lictor's flesh hook. And although the update isn't due until later this summer, you can start playing it today as of 2pm Pacific time.

Developer Relic details here how to download and install a beta version of the update. You can freely move back and forth between the beta and the official version of the game. Take a look at the full list of changes here.
