"I do surveys for some extra cash on the side. Just got into one which is obviously for Dawn of War IV. Pic related is a screenshot they provided of the environments:

I'll update this post with more info as its revealed. Keep in mind some of these features are probably in pre-production and might not exist in the actual game.

5 game modes

Nonlinear campaign for each faction

4 different factions

150 unique types of units

12 unique heroes

Customizable units

The storylines are written by an "award-winning author"

Still taking the survey I'll update other interesting stuff."

Dawn of War IV CONFIRMED? I want to believe!

I want to BELIEVE! We have some images from an apparent video game survey that could be connected to a brand new Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War game! I am hoping these are real because we need another GOOD game for this fantastic franchise!

You will now be asked to consider a few different brands that could be associated with this new game. Please read the description of the game one more time.

In this upcoming real-time strategy (RTS) game for your PC, you’ll build your base, manage resources, and raise large-scale armies to take on a variety of foes in brutal combat across a diverse set of environments in a gritty sci-fi universe. You can watch the action unfold either from a high strategic viewpoint or up close to see your units engage in bloody close-quarters combat.

This is a game of epic size and scale, featuring 4 factions, over 100 units and vehicles, and 12 playable hero characters – all of which can be played across 5 game modes in either single-player or multiplayer cooperative gameplay. Each faction has its own unique identity, with distinct units, heroes, and playstyles, and each features its own story campaign telling a different side of an epic overarching story. The story is co-written by an award-winning sci-fi author and will unfold over the course of 70 missions with nonlinear mission choices.

In this game, you can play the nonlinear story campaigns, achieve global domination in the endlessly replayable conquer mode, survive wave after wave of enemies in a battle arena horde mode, play against computer-controlled foes in skirmish mode, or challenge other players in intense multiplayer battles. You can also customize your units’ color and create custom missions for you or others to play. Finally, all game modes feature drop-in/drop-out co-op – meaning your friends can join at any time for a thrilling, shared adventure.

Re-tagged this as a rumour and re-titled it, as these surveys are virtually impossible to verify.

#

Alleged Warhammer 40,000 RTS

#

also: one of the watermarked photos has a warhammer terrain piece in it

#

so it's definitely 40k, it's just a question of who's making it lol

woven violet
#

This is more likely CAs 40k RTS, as Relic lost the 40k license.

drifting island
#

entirely possible! it doesn't sound like a total war but like you said surveys can be vague.

#

as is... i'm willing to believe it's a new dawn of war lol.

#

CA have stepped outside the TW format in the past.

#

Retaining the TW branding would track, however.

#

A new Relic Dawn of War is a death sentence for that company, however.

if gw literally just sits someone with a cattle prod in the middle of their office, they've got a shot

#

Can’t see CA making a normal RTS.

woven violet
#

They've done it before.

pseudo minnow
#

Wouldn't surprise me if it's a tw game heavily modified to fit the era, rather than CA just making a standard RTS all of a sufden

jolly anchor
#

I wasn't certain what CA did on that. But, yeah true kind of.

low kernel
rain grove
#

Probably counting variants as well.

#

Like tanks in DoW before or Battlecruisers in early SC2.

You can produce a base variant, then choose unique upgrades for it for different weapon loadouts.

#

I’m dubious ofc. But I could see this being CA. They obviously would want to do the now big brother of the fantasy series, but putting 40k into the total war engine was always going to be clunky and likely result in a poor product. I’m excited to see what this is if it’s real

#

Plus they do actually make games other than total war

patent yarrow
#

If there is a conquest mode like there is in DoW:Soulstorm, I'll build a new pc to play it and if there is a last stand mode as well.....I'll probably not play anything else for a while

drifting island
#

relic also has an unannounced project

#

I heard allegedly there is a Total warhammer 40k coming but idk the validity of it.

Oh perfect

#

How are we sure it s 40k rts game?

pseudo minnow
true solstice
#

I’d hope it’s not like the DOW conquest mode

#

I’d be down for a total war campaign map style but with how they’re supposedly doing this game

#

Or even have multiple planets you can invade so you can have ship to ship combat as well

#

They’ve done the several campaign map thing before with empire

#

The one with the ancient

keen cape
#

Yes trude mentioned it and it’s in the dawn of war boxed game thread

Summary of the alleged rumours above;

  • hearing more whispers about it; due to be revealed at Gamescon
  • unclear if the reveal will be CGI or gameplay
  • developer is KING Art Games (developer of Iron Harvest); no association with Relic

#

That's grim.

#

Spitballing here. I imagine they'll follow the formula. Three starting factions, potential fourth as a campaign big bad. Maybe.

#

Iron harvest was decent from what I've played, I wonder how they would handle this if these rumors are try

drifting island
#

Iron Harvest was very good, that is encouraging

twin heart
#

Say it with me everyone

The story is gonna be imperials fighting xenos who then uncover the big bad is actually chaos resulting in a crescendo event where you fight chaos to stop a ritual for a magic maguffin.

There I just solved the imperial campaign for you

Been about five years since IH.

#

So I wouldn't worry too much.

Well that's fun.

#

No chaos. So, no "chaos puppeteered things from the back" it seems.

oop

#

i didnt know this already existed

#

You'd really think the War would have Dawned by now. It should be, like, Mid-Morning of War.

craggy sun
#

its not a 40k game without chaos marines

tropic wren
#

Erm actually mechanicus has no chaos marines in it

rain grove
#

I imagine if this is good, they'll be in there very, very soon.

#

Also, this is a 40k game.

#

Are we really going to pretend like there won't be thousands of people whining on the forums about "XYZ faction when??!?!?!?" day one.

space marines vs necrons vs admech?!? is such a bizarre choice lol
