Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Unleashes Epic Necron CGI Trailer!

Get ready, Warhammer fans! The anticipation for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV just got cranked up a notch with the release of a brand-new CGI cinematic trailer, this time showcasing the terrifying Necron faction. Developed by King Art Games, this latest peek into the upcoming real-time strategy title is all about ancient power and a chilling aura.

The trailer introduces us to the formidable Necron Chronomancer Thothmek. After a casual 60-million-year nap, Thothmek isn’t exactly thrilled with the current state of the galaxy. His solution? To reclaim Kronus, a world that was a Necron Tomb World long before the likes of Space Marines, Orks, or the Adeptus Mechanicus ever set foot on it. This sets the stage for what promises to be an epic conflict.

This Necron trailer is the third in a series of four in-game CGI narrative shorts. While many gamers still hold a special place for the hilarious and action-packed Orks trailer (who doesn’t love a good “CRASH FASTER!” moment?), this Necron showcase definitely steps up the game from the earlier Adeptus Mechanicus one. The previous trailer, some felt, didn’t quite capture the true menace of the Necrons, making them seem a bit less formidable than they should be.

However, this new glimpse paints the Necrons exactly as they are – imposing, dreadful, and utterly alien. The visuals are stunning, particularly the Necron bridge, which oozes classic Warhammer 40,000 sci-fi dread as these ancient xenos prepare for war. What’s striking is the lack of direct combat; instead, the trailer focuses on the sheer atmospheric weight and presence of the Necrons, complemented by plenty of their iconic green-hued alien tech. You just know that technology is going to cause some serious havoc on the battlefield.

Dawn of War IV is set to launch with four exciting factions: the stalwart Space Marines, the intricate Adeptus Mechanicus, the terrifying Necrons, and the chaotic Orks. With the Necron trailer now out, all eyes are now on the final reveal – the Space Marine CGI trailer. Given the Dawn of War series’ history of iconic Space Marine cinematics, the expectations are incredibly high for that one!

Mark your calendars, because Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is scheduled to arrive on PC on September 17, 2026. Get ready to command your chosen faction and dive into the grim darkness of the far future!
