Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV release details

Overview

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is scheduled for a December 3, 2026, release on PC via Steam. While originally intended for a September 17, 2026, launch, the release was delayed to allow developers to refine performance, fix bugs, and polish gameplay. Players purchasing the Commander Edition will gain early access beginning November 30.

The game will be available in two editions: a Standard Edition priced at 59.99 Euro and a premium version that includes additional single-player content to be released after the initial launch. Initial details highlighted the Maelstrom PvE mode, which features high-difficulty AI, and the debut of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction. The game includes over 70 campaign missions and various modes such as Last Stand, Skirmish, and multiplayer options. A CGI trailer released by Deep Silver and KING Art Games depicts the Blood Ravens and Dark Angels fighting on the planet Kronus. Creative director Jan Theysen of King Art Games has stated that the title may offer “more single-player content than any other RTS at launch.”

Recent updates confirm the title marks a return to classic real-time strategy roots, emphasizing base building, resource management, and large-scale army control. The game features four playable factions: Space Marine, Ork, Necron, and Adeptus Mechanicus. Beyond the core campaign, the game includes 30 different multiplayer maps, customizable skirmish matches, and the return of the cooperative survival mode, ‘The Last Stand’. A new enhanced ‘Painter’ tool has also been introduced for unit customization. A Year One content roadmap has been announced, promising free updates such as the return of ‘Crusade Mode’, new maps, and two large story expansion packs.
