  "account": "King Art Games, the developer behind Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4, has revealed that the game's campaign is significantly larger than any other Real-Time Strategy (RTS) title launched before it. The campaign includes four separate single-player campaigns, each for a different faction: Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus. In total, there are over 70 campaign missions at launch. This is a drastic improvement compared to previous titles in the series, with Dawn of War 1 having 11 missions, Dawn of War 2 with an average of 20-30 missions in a single playthrough, and Dawn of War 3 with 17 missions. Creative director Jan Theysen emphasizes that each campaign in Dawn of War 4 is bigger than the entire campaign from Dawn of War 1, and likely contains more gameplay hours as well. Theysen explains that the campaign is designed to be engaging with branching storylines, meaning players won't be able to play all the missions in a single playthrough. The game also includes two tutorial missions, one for each faction, which introduce players to the basics and unique mechanics of the game. Further expansions to the single-player content are planned post-launch, with additional map packs, campaign expansions, and a new faction to keep players engaged.",
