Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Necrons Trailer Unveils Faction Gameplay
Deep Silver and KING Art Games released the third of four deep‑dive faction trailers for the upcoming real‑time strategy title *Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV*. The trailer focuses on the Necrons, depicting their methodical expansion across the planet Kronus. By restoring ancient structures and activating Power Matrices, the Necrons enlarge their domain, channeling resources into a central Tomb Citadel that serves as both a production hub and the heart of their empire.
Two commanders lead the army: Chronomant Thothmek, who bends time to hinder foes and speed the reanimation of fallen Necrons, and Ahmnok, the former ruler of Kronus driven to eradicate all life. Their forces feature self‑repairing legions, massive scarab machines, and technology that warps space and time. The game is scheduled for release on 17 September 2026 on PC, with a three‑day early‑access window for Commander Edition owners starting 14 September. Pre‑orders include a 10 % discount, and post‑launch support will bring free updates, the return of the Crusade mode, new maps, commanders, a mission editor, and two major narrative expansions that will deepen the Kronus conflict and add a new playable faction.
