Key information
Developer King Art Games asserts that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 features unprecedented single-player scale at launch, potentially surpassing any other real-time strategy game in history according to creative director Jan Theysen.
The game includes four full campaigns for the Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus, totaling over 70 missions. Each individual faction campaign exceeds the entire length of the original Dawn of War.
Creative director Jan Theysen explained that branching storylines mean players will not experience every mission in a single playthrough. The campaign incorporates initial Astra Militarum tutorial missions before progressing to faction mechanics like the Ork economy and the Adeptus Mechanicus Imperial Knight.
Additional post-launch single-player content is slated for release following the December launch. Planned updates include Crusade Mode, map packs, mission editors, and paid additions such as the Blood Ravens story prologue and the Aftermath campaign expansion.
