King Art Games, the team behind the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, insists they don’t view Total War: Warhammer 40,000 as a rival. Instead, they believe the existence of both high-profile strategy titles will only grow the franchise’s fanbase, expecting players to enjoy both.
While Dawn of War IV offers a traditional RTS experience on PC this September, the Total War entry blends turn-based grand strategy with real-time tactics and is targeting a broader console and PC release. Developers note that this “rising tide” effect is a win for the entire Warhammer community.
