"We're not competing with Dawn of War 1, we're competing with people's memory" says DoW 4 lead creative
KING Art Games' Creative Director Jan Theysen discusses Dawn of War 4, stating the team is competing with players' memories of the original game rather than the game itself. Theysen emphasizes recreating the feelings of the first Dawn of War with modern design standards, focusing on base-building, map control, and large-scale battles within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. He also notes the resurgence of the Real-Time Strategy genre and the importance of strong campaigns and universes to attract both long-time fans and new players.
