As development on Dawn of War 4 gathers pace like the Waaagh! of a planet-cracking Ork stampede, we’re getting a better sense of exactly how the real-time strategy Warhammer 40,000 game will play. King Art Games has already published numerous gameplay videos showing off competitive multiplayer, which will be an important part of the game, but how, exactly, will the Space Marines work?
You know the Space Marines, right? The poster boys of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 tabletop are more often than not the stars of the show when it comes to video game adaptations. From the Ultramarines to the Space Wolves, the Space Marines have been leading the Warhammer 40,000 video game charge from day one. Indeed, the Dawn of War series' Blood Ravens, which were created by original developer Relic Entertainment, are now firmly entrenched within the Warhammer 40,000 canon as a legit chapter of Space Marines.
In Dawn of War 4 the Blood Ravens return, but this time they have help in the form of the Dark Angels and, briefly during the campaign, their primarch, Lion El'Jonson. In this exclusive interview with director Jan Theysen, we go into detail on how the Space Marines actually work in Dawn of War 4, explore some winning strategies, and find out what sets them apart from the Necrons, Orks, and the Adeptus Mechanics. We’ve also got a batch of exclusive screenshots showing off the Space Marines in all their glory, which you can view via the slideshow below.
