Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV delayed until December

Gamingonlinux · ·

One game we have to wait a bit longer on is Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, which has moved from September to December 3rd. Not a very long delay, but hopefully enough time for the developers at KING Art to make it truly worthwhile. I would prefer a delay over a rough release - too many big games release in a poor state on PC over the last few years.

The announcement was quite short but there's also a video to explain more:

"We have an important update to share about the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV.

We've made the decision to move the game's launch date to 3rd December. In this video, we explain why we're taking additional time and what you can expect from us in the lead-up to release.

Thank you to everyone who has joined the playtests and shared feedback with us throughout development. Your support has been invaluable, and we're excited to continue this journey together.

Watch the full update from Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Game Director Jan Theysen:"

Theysen mentions in the video that after thousands of players tried the playtests it's clear they're on the right track, but they need the extra few weeks to focus on the feedback they had been given to fix bugs, improve performance and polish the experience some more. They plan to show off some of what they've been doing over the next few weeks - to show their progress on the feedback.
