KING Art Games is releasing three Battlefield Report videos for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, starting today with a 1v1 Annihilation match between Orks and Necrons, followed by additional multiplayer modes on Sept. 16 and Sept. 23.

The first report features Creative Director Jan Theysen commanding the Orks against QA Lead Orvie Thumel, a former Dawn of War II shoutcaster, who pilots the Necrons. The video showcases previously unseen late-game Necron units and abilities, alongside configurable match settings. KING Art also highlights ongoing development work on battlefield readability, including changes to the Necron Power Matrix based on community feedback.

On Sept. 16, the second Battlefield Report will show off Team Domination, a new 2v2 game type with all four factions competing. The final report arrives Sept. 23 with a first look at 2v2 Team Skirmish, featuring Theysen and Elliott teaming up against a high-difficulty AI opponent to demonstrate teamwork and commander selection.
