Deep Silver and KING Art Games released a nine-minute game overview trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV. The game launches on December 3, 2026, though Commander Edition players get a 3-day early unlock starting November 30. Both editions are currently available for pre-order at a 10% discount.

The game features four playable factions: Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus. Players can access four complete campaigns totaling more than 70 missions that include branching choices and co-operative play. Multiplayer includes 30 maps and three game types, while skirmish mode supports up to five AI opponents across four game types. The Last Stand survival mode returns with five heroes and support for two allies.

A new painter tool allows for piece-by-piece customization of unit armor and equipment. Deep Silver and KING Art Games say Year One will include free updates such as Crusade Mode, a Mission Editor, new maps, modes, and Commanders. These updates will also include two story expansions and one new playable faction.
