More Faction Reveals Incoming

Sydney, Australia, 9Th of January 2026: Deep Silver and KING Art Games revealed the first of four in-game CGI narrative sequences for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, and fittingly, it’s the Orks who get to start the WAAAGH! Enter the new year with full Ork energy: loud, reckless, and ready for the war.

 

Watch the Ork CGI trailer here!

 

Ork CGI Overview
Each CGI chapter serves as a cinematic introduction to one of the four playable factions. Today, the spotlight falls on the brutal and endlessly destructive Orks:

  • Meet Gorgutz ’Ead ’Unter, the Ork Warboss of the Bad Moons.
  • The CGI shows how Gorgutz has launched a surprise attack on the Blood Ravens as they orbit the world of Kronus.
  • Upon boarding the Blood Raven vessel, we see Orks and Blood Ravens clash. Chief Librarian Jonah Orion unleashes devastating psychic attacks on them, while Captain Cyrus snipes at them from a secure firing position, trying to slow the advance.

With the ship taking heavy damage and the situation slipping out of control, the Blood Ravens are forced to abandon the ship and drop to the surface of Kronus. Their escape is only the beginning. Gorgutz and his boyz are right on their heels.
 

This Ork CGI is the first of four faction reveals in Dawn of War IV. More to come, stay tuned.
