A brand new trailer released today for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV reveals the first faction featured in the game: Orks. The CGI narrative video, which you can watch on YouTube, shows the reckless ogres wreaking havoc in the game’s world, and giving you a taste of what you can expect when the game launches later this year.

The Orks are one of four playable factions in Dawn of War IV, and today’s trailer is the first of four highlighting each faction. Look out for more videos to come soon, showcasing the rest of the game’s factions in due course.

Watch the trailer and you’ll see the Ork Warboss of the Badmoons, Gorgutz ‘Ead ‘Hunter, who launches a surprise attack on the Blood Ravens. We see Chief Librarian Jonah Orion launch a devastating psychic attack, and Captain Cyrus trying to slow the advance with his sniping abilities.

See the action for yourself in the trailer via YouTube:

There’s no release date just yet for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, but it’s expected to launch at some point in 2026. It’s in development by King Art Games, published by Deep Silver, and will be playable on PC.
