The highly anticipated Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 has been officially confirmed, marking a triumphant return to the beloved real-time strategy franchise. This new installment will feature four legendary factions engaging in brutal warfare as they revisit the war-torn world of Kronus through an expansive narrative campaign. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 promises to recapture the essence that made the original series so memorable when it launches in 2026.

The Dawn of War series stands as an iconic real-time strategy experience set within the grim darkness of the 41st millennium. While Dawn of War 2 and 3 received mixed receptions from the community, the original 2004 release was universally praised as one of the finest strategy games of its generation and celebrated as one of the first truly exceptional Warhammer 40K adaptations in video game form.

Nearly a decade since the last major release, the Dawn of War franchise is receiving a brand new chapter. Revealed during Gamescom through an intense cinematic trailer, the game transports players back to Kronus exactly two centuries following the events of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. The Blood Angels chapter, commanded by the veteran Cyrus - voiced by renowned actor Steve Blum, who also provides narration for the trailer - must confront the persistent Ork hordes and Necron legions that continue to infest the planet. Most significantly, the Adeptus Mechanicus makes their series debut as a fully independent playable faction, bringing their unique technological warfare to the battlefield. The sequel will boast an impressive roster of over 70 campaign missions distributed across all four factions.
