Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Looks To Right The Wrongs Of Its Predecessor https://ift.tt/VFGJQnU Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is arriving nearly a decade after the release of the third game in the real-time strategy series, and after spending some time with an extensive preview build that covered the opening missions of two its campaigns, I’m happy to report that it seems to be a return to form after the ill-received changes in Dawn of War III.
