Deep Silver unveil the first faction deep dive trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, showcasing the Orks' return to Kronus. The gameplay reveal introduces two Warbosses, Gorgutz and Guzcutta, and demonstrates the faction's signature chaotic playstyle.

Dawn of War fans finally have their first proper look at how the Orks play in the upcoming fourth instalment. Deep Silver and KING Art Games dropped the first of four planned faction deep dive trailers today, and it's exactly what you'd expect: loud, violent, with plenty of orkish green.

The trailer showcases the Orks' return to Kronus with a focus on their brutal, numbers-heavy approach to warfare. If you've played previous Dawn of War games, you'll know the drill: more dakka, harder choppas, and boyz charging across the battlefield in overwhelming waves. It's controlled chaos at its finest and exactly how we like it!

Two Warbosses Leading the Charge

The Ork faction will be led by two Warbosses: Gorgutz, a returning face from earlier games, and newcomer Guzcutta. Both commanders bring their own flavour to the green tide, though specific details on their unique abilities are being kept under wraps for now.

What we do know is that the Waaagh! ability returns, and it looks as devastating as ever. The mechanic allows Ork players to turn battles through sheer numbers and overwhelming firepower, which should please anyone who's ever wanted to drown their opponents in a sea of greenskins.

What Else Is Coming to Dawn of War IV

Beyond the Orks, Dawn of War IV promises four factions total, each getting their own deep dive trailer in the coming weeks. The game features multiple non-linear campaigns, competitive multiplayer, and the return of fan-favourite modes including Last Stand and Skirmish.

The game seems to emphasize large-scale battles, faction identity, and beloved game modes, which is exactly what the fans of the franchise have been asking for. It does look like the devs are not trying to reinvent the wheel here.

With three more faction reveals still to come, there's plenty more Dawn of War IV news on the horizon. For now, Ork players can rest easy knowing their faction looks suitably ridiculous and devastatingly effective.
