Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is developed by King Art Games and published by Deep Silver, and unlike previous entries in the series it is built in Unity. It is a Windows-only release with no announced console versions, which means the specifications, when published, will not be anchored to console hardware targets in the way multi-platform releases typically are.

Several sites carry confident-looking numbers for Dawn of War IV — a GTX 1060, an i5-8400, 80 GB of SSD space, and so on — and every one of them is an editorial guess. An example is GamerSpecs which labels its figures as predictions rather than official specs.
