01:35The End

01:37The End

01:42The End

01:44The first big decision, of course, was what are we aiming for?

01:49I mean, the first big decision, of course, was what are we aiming for, right?

02:01Do we try to do a Dawn of War 1 or a Dawn of War 2, a mix of the both?

02:06Because, you know, we like both of them, but in the end we said, no, let's really go with Dawn of War 1.

02:12That's our guiding star.

02:13There were three major things that we were looking to preserve building Dawn of War 4.

02:18First off, we wanted to double down and push forward on sync kills.

02:23So not only just having synchronized animations between units killing each other,

02:26but also synchronized melee combat through our combat director system.

02:32We talked to a lot of people, you know, what do you remember from Dawn of War 1

02:36or what, you know, made Dawn of War 1 Dawn of War 1 for you.

02:39And everybody was excited about sync kills, right?

02:43Because that was just something that everybody remembered.

02:45And so we said, okay, we definitely want sync kills in the game,

02:48but could we maybe even make it, you know, more spectacular or something that, you know,

02:5320 years later is super cool.

02:56And so we came up with a new system.

02:57I think when you do like a new version or reinterpretation of a classic game,

03:04the challenge is always that you're not trying to recreate the old game,

03:08but you try to recreate the feeling that people had when they played the old game, right?

03:12So what you basically want to do is you look at the old game,

03:15you ask yourself, okay, how did this work and how did this made us feel

03:20and how can we do this 20 years later?

03:23We also wanted to bring back base building as well as large-scale armies and engagements.

03:29There are so many cool factions and so many cool stories you could choose from.

03:33And we basically ended up picking the factions we picked

03:36because we felt if we do like a new version or like a evolution of Dawn of War I,

03:42you need the blood ravens and you need the orcs.

03:45That is just a given.

03:46We worked closely together with Games Workshop to make sure that we got the feel

03:50and the look of all factions right.

03:54We knew right from the jump that we wanted to make a game

03:57that felt true to the universe and to the factions.

04:01We thought about adding the Necrons because we felt that, you know,

04:05Necrons were kind of promised for Dawn of War 3 and never came.

04:09So it felt like a nice touch to finally give them to the players.

04:12There may be a faction that, you know, never had a big role in the Dawn of War game.

04:17And there are not that many.

04:19Adaptus Mechanicus is definitely like a big and important faction in the 40k universe

04:23and they were never part of the Dawn of War.

04:26And so we felt that's a good opportunity to have something new for everyone.

04:29A couple of things that we knew we wanted to bring back were things such as unit upgrades

04:34and so on, such as assault intercessors that you just saw with jump packs,

04:38as well as hero units.

04:40Not making them too powerful, but definitely still significant for a player's army.

04:46We also wanted to bring back four different factions,

04:49essentially each with their own gameplay mechanics.

04:52We somehow have to get this stuff back in the game

04:55but make it like a new version or our version.

04:58And then there might be some things, you know, that maybe are not IP conform anymore

05:04or that feel out of place 20 years later.

05:06And those are the things we said, okay, let's not keep them

05:09because it's more about, you know, having a great game today

05:13and not recreating a game that was great 20 years ago.
