Story of Retribution
In Dawn of War Retribution you can play with six Races in the Campaign, the Tyranids, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Eldar ,Orks and the newly added race the Imperial Guards.

Retribution is about the Blood ravens chapter, after the events that happend in Chaos Rising, Gabriel Angelos wanted to prove that Kyras was a Heretic. With each race your objective is to complete all missions until you must defeat Kyras when he is on his way to Deamon Hood. When you play as a Space Marine, however, you play has Captain Diomadies. He was so proud of his chapter master that he was blind to see the truth, later on in Retribution Kyras appears and offers Diomadies a spot by his side. Finally he sees the truth and thanks his chapter master for telling him and it has the same ending with all other races.

Multiplayer Mechanics
Not much as changed in the Multiplayer Mechanics but any minor ajustment counts. It has changed so far, that you no longer need games for Windows live becuse a lot of players had the trouble when looging on it would take too much time and it would lag very badly when playing online. When Retribution was released they connected it with Steam, for a better gaming performance and experience.

And there are some more news after a long time of waiting. The developer from Dawn of War wrote a letter to all Dawn of War fans that have been supporting him. You can find that letter under Games -> Dawn of War -> Retribution and where news is you see the letter.
