If you’re like us and you’ve been waiting with bated breath for a good, long look at the gameplay from Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, wait no longer – the first of four faction trailers is here, and we’re kicking off with everyone’s favourite mean and green rabble. Gorgutz is back, and his Orks are on the warpath. And he’s not the only Warboss on Kronus…
Waaagh!
As you might expect, the Orks are at their loudest and fight-iest in Dawn of War IV, with a roster full of their greatest hits – Flash Gitz, Deff Dreads, Stormboyz, and more. The Beast Snagga tribes are also joining the series for the first time, bringing their unique brand of squig-back, anti-vehicle warfare to the party.
Warboss Gorgutz returns after his victory over the Kaurava System in Dawn of War: Soulstorm, no doubt eager to finally claim Kronus for himself.* Dawn of War veterans will be glad to know that more than a few classic features of the Orks faction are back in action alongside Gorgutz, such as the army-wide spread of the Waaagh! and the chaotic mass of buildings that makes up their base, still bristling with guns.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV will be releasing on Steam later this year, and we’ll be showing off the next faction trailers as soon as we get our eager hands on them. We’ve still got the Necrons, Space Marines, and Adeptus Mechanicus to go, so who do you think will be next?
* His last attempt didn’t go so well… but he didn’t die, so in true Ork fashion it doesn’t really count as a loss.
