Paid DLC No. 1: Blood Ravens Story Prologue
Sometime in Winter 2026, the story prologue for the Blood Ravens will be released, which aims to provide further insights into the events leading up to the base campaign of “Dawn of War IV.”
At the beginning of this story, our heavily damaged Blood Ravens drag themselves to Kronus, hoping to replenish their ranks with new recruits from their old recruitment world. Meanwhile, the “Story Prologue” DLC narrates how a new deployment unit of the Blood Ravens sets out for Aurelia to realize their own plans for rebuilding their order.
Paid DLC No. 2: Aftermath
In 2027, the “Aftermath” DLC will follow, expanding the base campaign and introducing a completely new faction in “Dawn of War IV.” The developers do not want to reveal what that is yet.
