Dawn of War 4 has been delayed to the tail-end of this year, so the developers at King Art games can "further refine the experience ahead of launch." Initially scheduled for a launch on the 17th September, the game will now be released to the public on the 3rd December. The reason given for this delay according to a press release announcing the delay comes down to some needed polish. While exact release dates have yet to be announced, crusade mode and the game's first map pack is scheduled to come out in early 2027. Lord Ahmnok's will come to Last Stand and Crusade alongside a second map pack a little later, while the Blood Raven story prologue will come just ahead of Spring.
