For others, Chaos Rising simply starts folks off with a 17th level party, and the ability to customize levelling points as appropriate. In fact, players who managed to hold to their savegames from the original single-player campaign will be pleased to know that all of their team can be ported over, intact with levels and some of their Wargear. While not requiring the original Dawn of War 2 to play, Chaos Rising does assume that players are already familiar with the way everything works. The Chaos Space Marines' Black Legion also have taken quite an interest in exactly what secrets the planet holds, so it's once again up to the Space Marine Blood Ravens to save the sector in the name of the Emperor. Yes, that's right, an entire planet, and the denizens of that place aren't all too friendly. Trouble always seems to be around the corner, however, as the Rift spits out a new planet in the sector. Chaos Rising picks up where Dawn of War 2 left off, with the crisis of the Tyranid invasion held at bay for the moment.
