Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV launches on PC (Steam) on December 3, 2026, and The Last Stand comes back with it: three players team up as Commanders to survive 20 increasingly tough waves. Each Commander can reach level 30 in a run and now leads a Strikeforce of up to four Companion units. Five Commanders are available at launch, covering all four factions, including both Blood Ravens and Dark Angels Space Marines, with more promised later as free DLC.
So, a few questions:
Did you play the original Last Stand? What made it fun, or what got old quickly?
Which faction's Commander will you try first: Space Marines, Orks, Necrons or Adeptus Mechanicus?
Do the new Companion units sound like real extra depth, or just a way to make the waves easier?
Do you already have two friends lined up for launch, or are you hoping to find a squad here?
And will you start on November 30 with the Commander Edition's early unlock, or wait for December 3?
