Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 announced, and it's coming from a surprise new developer next year


The legendary RTS series gets a surprise sequel, from the developer behind cult strategy hit Iron Harvest.

The events here take place about 200 years later, with returning characters including classic Ork boss Gorgutz and Space Marine psyker Jonah Orion, who marks one of the only nods to DoW 3. Author John French, who's contributed dozens of entries to 40K's Black Library novels, has also come on board to write the campaign, which KING Art boasts will have more than 40 hours of cutscenes and some "non-linear and optional elements," designed for replayability. It's a shame to see this franchise away from Relic, one of the all-time greats of the genre that went on a brilliant run of releasing the first two Homeworld games, the original Dawn of War and two of its three expansions, and the first Company of Heroes in the space of about seven years.
