Four scoundrels band together to surviveĀ 40K
During today’s annualĀ WarhammerĀ festival Skulls, developer Fatshark premiered a new trailer for its upcoming co-op action gameĀ Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. It looks grim, dark, and grimy. Pretty much what’d you expect in aĀ Warhammer 40KĀ setting.
As humanity struggles to fight back against the tides of Chaos, criminals are rounded up and sent into the fray. These Inquisition forces are basically the Suicide Squad inĀ 40K. But you and three friends will need to touch down on the planet and try to survive.
Fatshark garnered a reputation for solid co-op action with its work onĀ Warhammer: Vermintide. Rather than a dark fantasy setting,Ā DarktideĀ leaps ahead into the future ofĀ Warhammer 40,000. The nice part is while there are guns to wield, there are still plenty of big weapons to swing too. There is even some magic to wield, depending on what class you pick.
Blood for the God Emperor
Pre-orders went live today forĀ Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The co-op game is expected to go live on Sept. 13 for PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Two different versions are available: the basic runs $39.99 and has a few launch cosmetics, while the $59.99 Imperial Edition has premium currency, unique class outfits, and more.
We’ve already seen some gameplay ofĀ DarktideĀ and it looks pretty dark. It is the world ofĀ Warhammer 40K, after all. No matter what planet you land on or faction you belong to, it seems like a generally rough universe to get by in. Still, the thieves and scoundrels ofĀ Warhammer 40,000: DarktideĀ will try to keep on and stay alive in the face of Chaos.
The new trailer was among several big announcements today at theĀ WarhammerĀ Skulls festival. A new video looked behind the scenes of the upcomingĀ Space Marine 2, and a few differentĀ WarhammerĀ projects got announced. I’m personally a big fan ofĀ Boltgun.
Warhammer 40,000: DarktideĀ hits PC and Xbox Series X|S on Sept. 13. It’s also due to arrive on Game Pass.
