Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 Delayed to December
Fans of the long-running Warhammer 40,000 strategy series will have to wait a little longer for the next installment. King Art Games has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4, previously slated for a September release, has been pushed back to early December. The studio cited a desire to "further refine the experience ahead of launch" as the reason for the delay, asking players for a bit more patience before they can return to the grim darkness of the far future.
The news arrives nearly a decade after the divisive Dawn of War 3 launched, making anticipation for the fourth entry especially high among the fanbase. The new release window does, however, place the game within roughly two weeks of Grand Theft Auto 6's launch, setting up a crowded and competitive end-of-year period for players and publishers alike.
