Dawn of War IV Debuts In-Engine Trailer and Outlines Return-to-Roots Vision for 2026 PC Launch

The new showcase centers on recapturing the first game’s feel through a modernized, spectacle-driven sync-kill combat system.

Overview

  • KING Art and Deep Silver unveiled a new in-engine trailer during the PC Gaming Show – Tokyo Direct.
  • Developers say the first Dawn of War is the project’s guiding star, aiming to evoke its spirit rather than recreate it verbatim.
  • The team is reviving and expanding the series’ signature sync kills into synchronized melee fights directed by a new combat system.
  • Core factions include the Blood Ravens and Orks, with Necrons and the Adeptus Mechanicus discussed as potential additions.
  • The game targets a 2026 release on PC via Steam, with wishlist pages live and no firm date yet, and it is reported to feature four co-op campaigns, Last Stand, and multiple skirmish modes.
