This looks kinda bad but I can’t place my finger on what it is. I think it’s the like clay like textures and mobile phone like graphics.
This isn’t giving next gen to me and the trailer felt was less put together than they usually do. I guess I like the more realistic or hyper realistic style the cinematics have always pushed in my heads.
That being said, I hope it slaps. I miss a solid dawn of war that my pals and I can play. Nothing like Dark Crusade LAN parties back in the day.

Wow that certainly was a… 20 seconds of gameplay

They nailed the vibe with the cinematic. Gameplay graphics look like a cartoon mobile game sadly

With only 4 factions at launch, having both Space Marines and Mechanicus seems like a waste, tbh. I’d rather have more Xenos factions.

The Games Workshop of 2025 is not the GW of… fucking corpse god, 2004. Modern day GW very much cares about their brand and the “synergy” with tabletop and the like.
So I assume this was greenlit when they were pushing Mechanicus and all the “Armies of the Imperium” very hard as a way to break up the Guard and specialize more with heroes and so forth.
That said: Assume there will be at least one “secret” faction closer to launch. Probably Chaos because… duh.

GW has always been about chasing trends and synergy with new products. Xenos being ignored in favour of human armies has been a meme for as long as the game existed. And I remember DoW1 including flying units in the last expansion just because GW was pushing them in the tabletop.
Has it become even worse? Tbh I hate GW and I don’t keep up with their news.
