King Art Games has unveiled the Orks as the first playable faction in the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV through a new CGI trailer. The video showcases the Orks' chaotic assault on familiar enemies from the series. The game is set for a 2026 release on PC.
A new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, released on January 8, 2026, introduces the Orks as one of four playable factions in the real-time strategy game. Developed by King Art Games and published by Deep Silver, the title builds on the legacy of the Dawn of War series within the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The CGI narrative video, available on YouTube, depicts the Orks causing widespread destruction in the game's setting. It centers on the Ork Warboss from the Badmoons clan, Gorgutz ‘Ead ‘Hunter, who leads a sudden attack against the Blood Ravens Space Marines. In response, Chief Librarian Jonah Orion unleashes a powerful psychic assault, while Captain Cyrus attempts to halt the Ork advance using his sniper skills.
This trailer marks the initial reveal in a planned series of four videos, each highlighting one of the game's factions. While no exact launch date has been announced, the game is anticipated to arrive later in 2026 exclusively on PC. The reveal emphasizes the Orks' reckless and havoc-wreaking nature, offering players a glimpse into the intense faction-based gameplay expected from the title.
Fans of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise can look forward to further faction announcements in the coming weeks, building anticipation for this entry in the storied strategy series.
