Dawn of War IV Campaign: 4 Stories 70+ Missions Full Guide

How many campaigns does Dawn of War IV have?

Four — one per launch faction — interweaving into a single non-linear, narrative-driven story. Together they contain more than 70 missions. Where previous Dawn of War games gave you one perspective, Dawn of War IV makes the campaign itself a four-sided war (factions overview).

Which factions get campaigns?

All four launch factions:

• Space Marines — the Blood Ravens and Dark Angels storyline, with heroes Cyrus, Jonah Orion and Lion El’Jonson confirmed
• Orks — the green tide gets its own storyline, not just antagonist duty
• Necrons — the ancient machine-warriors’ awakening
• Adeptus Mechanicus — the machine cult’s unconventional war

What does “non-linear” mean here?

Campaign progression branches rather than running on rails: mission choice shapes the story, and the four faction campaigns interlock into one larger narrative. A mission-by-mission walkthrough section (under the missions category) goes live at launch, with verified objectives and co-op notes.

Can I play the campaign in co-op?

Yes — the campaign and every mode in the game support two-player co-op. How invites work, difficulty scaling and what carries over are covered in the co-op guide. Between story missions, The Last Stand (guide) and multiplayer (game modes) round out the package.

How long is the campaign?

Specific hour estimates have not been verified pre-launch and we do not publish guesses. What is confirmed: 70+ missions across four campaigns, each faction storyline standing on its own. Mission count per faction and difficulty notes will be published with launch-week data.

When does the campaign unlock?

December 3, 2026 on PC via Steam; Commander Edition owners start November 30 (release times). Post-launch story content is already announced — the Blood Ravens Story Prologue and AFTERMATH expansions are on the Year One roadmap.
