Is this game cannon?

I guess not, right?

Good question I'd like to know too. Now I'm pretty sure Scaevolas ending can't be cannon at all, without wanting to spoiler here, what I can say that would be heresy.

I mean the Dawn of War games are cannon, I don't see a reason why this game wouldn't be cannon, it has better writing for sure :D

I think the question should be not if this game is cannon, which it should be imo, but what ending is cannon and the only ending which fits the mechanicus and the Imperium of Man as a whole would be Videx ending, again not spoilering here, but the Emperor/Omnissiah would only appreciate one ending, which is Videxes.

I could see the undecided ending (not siding with Scaevola or Videx) as possibly cannon as well, because it would not upset the major universe. Not gonna spoil anything, but I would say nothing major in the 40k universe would change if the Videx or Undecided ending happened.

Indeed undecided would fit very well too indeed :)

loose canon. to be frank with games, books, comics and to mild extent the fan films the story isnt fully cemented. like how star wars was before disney bought them or (on my side of fandom) mobile suit gundam universal century timeline.
if anything this is more on giving you an idea on who/what mechanicus is and get to focus on them in this game. if already a fan of mechanicus or want to learn/see bit more on them then this is the go to game.
