We've got another close look at Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV ahead of the December release, with an impressive new trailer. This really feels like they've been paying attention, and focusing on what players loved from the original games but modernised. I'm definitely excited by this one.

Across four different campaigns (Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus) and 70+ missions, it seems like it has quite a healthy dose of content to sink your fingers into. With the branching campaign set across a whole world, it really does look interesting, especially since you can play solo or co-op with it. Then there's also a skirmish mode to battle others across 30 maps along with the popular Last Stand mode too.

The focus on all the little details with the dynamic combat looks awesome too. Don't think I've been this excited for a classic RTS in a long time.

They've said after release they're planning many additions including a Crusade Mode, new maps, modes, Commanders, and the Mission Editor, alongside two major story expansions and a new playable faction. So there's plenty more to come later too.

I have a copy ready for Advanced Access - so I'll let you know how it runs on Linux with Proton.
