Dawn of War IV Announced

  Aug 19, 2025  

KING Art Games is developing the fourth installment of the legendary RTS series “Dawn of War” in collaboration with Deep Silver! For almost four years, we have been working on an epic new RTS set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe.

“It is a great honor for us to be able to work on such a huge and important international IP. After Iron Harvest, this is the second major leap forward for us as an independent game developer”, says Jan Theysen, Creative Director at KING Art.

Dawn of War IV is not only the biggest game we ever developed, it will also be the biggest Dawn of War of all time at launch. It features:

·        Four playable factions (Orks, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, Space Marines) with over 110 units and buildings, many of which can be upgraded.

·        Four full singleplayer/coop campaigns, one for each faction. In the non-linear campaigns players can make long-reaching decisions that feed into an overarching narrative.

·        One CGI intro per campaign, over 40 minutes of fully animated in-game cinematics.

·        We have Skirmish missions, a Multiplayer mode and we bring back The Last Stand!

Dawn of War IV is our take on what a modern interpretation of the original Dawn of War could look like. With epic battles, large armies, base-building, research & upgrades, resource management and the undeniable look & feel of Warhammer 40,000.

We’re happy we can finally show the world what we’ve been working on! Have a look!

Much more to come over the next few months.

 

Have a great Gamescom everyone,

Your Dawn of War IV team
