Four scoundrels band together to survive40K
During today’s annualWarhammerfestival Skulls, developer Fatshark premiered anew trailerfor its upcoming co-op action gameWarhammer 40,000: Darktide. It looks grim, dark, and grimy. Pretty much what’d you expect in aWarhammer 40Ksetting.
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 in40K. 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 onWarhammer: Vermintide. Rather than a dark fantasy setting,Darktideleaps ahead into the future ofWarhammer 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 forWarhammer 40,000: Darktide. The co-op game is expected togo live on Sept. 13for PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

We’ve alreadyseen some gameplayofDarktideand it looks pretty dark. It is the world ofWarhammer 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 ofWarhammer 40,000: Darktidewill try to keep on and stay alive in the face of Chaos.
The new trailer was among several big announcements today at theWarhammerSkulls festival. A new video looked behind the scenes of the upcomingSpace Marine 2, and a few differentWarhammerprojects got announced. I’m personally a big fan ofBoltgun.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktidehits PC and Xbox Series X|S on Sept. 13. It’s also due toarrive on Game Pass.
