Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 4 Creators Explain the Choice of Four Factions and the Absence of Chaos
The RTS franchise will soon return with a new installment.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 4 was recently announced. The developers talked about the fact that at the start they will offer four playable factions: Adeptus Astartes, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons and Orks - campaigns will be made for them.
Some fans of the franchise were confused by the absence of Chaos. In an interview with PCGamesN, creative director Ian Thaysen explained the choice of factions.
Orks: "This is a Dawn of War series game. So the "Blood Ravens" should definitely be there. Orks are almost inevitable, especially if you want to go back to Dawn of War 1 in many aspects."
The Necrons were decided to be added because they promised to add them to DoW 3 at one time (this did not happen).
Adeptus Mechanicus - was taken partly because the development studio KING Arts previously worked on the Iron Harvest project in a dieselpunk setting.
The team understands the disappointment due to the absence of Chaos - the faction may return in the future:
"We didn't want to: "Oh, yes, there is also Chaos" [...] Let's focus on the story about xenos. And who knows, maybe in the future we can do something like that with Chaos."
