It's rare for us Warhammer fans to have a really big 40k game on the horizon, so having two inbound at the same time, and both strategy games at that, is a pretty notable occurrence. Both Dawn of War 4 and Total War: Warhammer 40k are set to drop in the not too distant future—but is King Art Games worried about sharing the 40k strategy spotlight with Creative Assembly?

Late last month I sat down with two of Dawn of War 4's developers, Senior Game Designer, Elliot Verbiest, and Game Director, Jan Theysen, and as a curious fan of both series, I brought up the topic of Total War: Warhammer 40k:

"I have a couple of friends who worked on that project at Creative Assembly, so it was super great to get in touch and congratulate them for the announcement," says Elliot Verbiest. "I have seen a couple of comments online being like 'Oh that doesn't make any sense, wouldn't they eat into each other's market?' But I think it's comparing apples and oranges. They're both real-time strategy games, but they're very different types of RTS."
