The Warhammer 40,000 RTS returns to its roots
Dawn of War IV brings back Warhammer 40,000 real-time strategy, developed by KING Art and published by Deep Silver. The promise is a return to the series' roots: deeply satisfying strategy gameplay built around your base and your armies.
Four factions, with the Adeptus Mechanicus debut
Take command of four unique Warhammer 40,000 factions, including the Adeptus Mechanicus in their series debut. Each has its own units and its own way of fighting; the studio adds more playable Commanders during the first year.
70+ missions, Last Stand, Skirmish and multiplayer
The campaign spans 70+ epic missions on Kronus, where the war never ends. Once you finish it, the replayable modes remain: Last Stand, Skirmish and multiplayer.
Commander Edition: three days early and Year 1
The Commander Edition starts on November 30, 2026, three days before the December 3 release, and includes the Year 1 Expansion (new modes, map packs, playable Commanders and a Mission Editor, delivered as free updates), the AFTERMATH campaign expansion with a new faction, the Blood Ravens Story prologue and the soundtrack.
Steam, EU/NA region
Both keys activate on Steam and share the same EU/NA region: they work on European and North American accounts. Each product page lists the countries where it cannot be activated — check it before buying, because the region cannot be changed afterwards.
