SoulframeOrk Campaign
Dawn of War 4's Ork campaign makes you back either Warboss Gorgutz or Beastboss Guzcutta, with 18 missions in all and 14 or 15 in one run, per Jan Theysen. Previews name the missions Da Beastboss, Da Biggest Boss and Da Race, and the game is out Dec 3, 2026.
Dawn of War 4's Ork campaign has you back Gorgutz or Guzcutta, with each mission tipping the balance between them, per IGN's Jan 2026 hands-on, and it has 18 missions in all, 14 or 15 of them in one run, Jan Theysen told IGN. It is the only campaign with a published mission count. Press and creators played it in full in the Oct 2026 preview build, so it is the best documented of the four, though every detail here still comes from a pre-release build ahead of the Dec 3, 2026 launch. The clip is IGN's Jan 2026 hands-on.

The set-up
Gorgutz, Warboss of the Bad Moons, attacks the Blood Ravens in orbit over Kronus. IGN says he crash-lands his rok on the planet after invading a Blood Ravens battle barge, and there he meets Guzcutta, the local Ork leader, who is native to Kronus and already hunting the human forces. Two bosses on one planet is the whole premise. The bigger story is on Story and Setting.
Gorgutz or Guzcutta
IGN found that Gorgutz leans on war machines and firepower and Guzcutta on tamed beasts, though both eventually get the same units. As Commanders, KING Art describes Gorgutz as slow and strong at melee and range in Mega Armor, and challenging to play, and Guzcutta as tough on foot. Their voices are Brian Drummond and Joshua Manning (Characters and Voice Cast). What the choice changes by the end, and whether a run can switch sides late, is not published. Both Commanders are on Orks.
Named missions
Three missions have been named, all in IGN's January 2026 build. Names or details may change by launch.
| Mission | What IGN reports |
|---|---|
| Da Beastboss | Mission one |
| Da Biggest Boss | Mission two |
| Da Race | Both bosses race to destroy an Adeptus Mechanicus base: Gorgutz goes up the right side, you up the left |
Source: IGN via Yahoo, Jan 29, 2026.
IGN's writer found that slowing Gorgutz down in Da Race cost too much, and that flanking him while he fights the Adeptus Mechanicus worked better.
The Squigosaur and the Deff Dreads
One branching mission lets you tame a Squigosaur, which gives Guzcutta a mount that changes how he plays for the rest of the campaign, per IGN. KING Art confirms that he unlocks it during the campaign, making him faster with a beast fighting beside him. Another branching mission has you collect scrap to build Deff Dreads. IGN spells the beast Squigasaur; this viki uses KING Art's spelling.
How it plays
Orks are about numbers and aggression, and the IGN build rewarded pressing the attack as squads grew into a horde. Press Start's Oct 2026 build shows the basics: a full Waaagh! makes basic Boyz free and sends the army into a frenzy, and Gretchin do the building and can man finished structures. How the Waaagh! works in general is on Orks. The campaign is balanced separately from multiplayer, so numbers may not carry over.
Press Start recommends playing this campaign after the Prologue and before the Adeptus Mechanicus; the two could be taken in either order in its build.
What is not known
As of Oct 31, 2026, the Ork campaign's other mission names, its length in hours, its ending and how it joins the other campaigns are unpublished.
