The developers from Fatshark, creator of Warhammer: The End Times dilogy, announced a new project set in Warhammer 40,000 universe. Called Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, it offers a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in hive Tertium.
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness. A heretical cult known as the Admonition seeks to seize control of the planet Atoma Prime and lay waste to its inhabitants. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Features:
- Fast-paced and brutal co-op adventure. Stem the overwhelming tides of enemies alongside up to 3 friends in this harrowing co-op experience.
- Combat evolved. Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s highly-praised melee combat, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduces a deep and balanced gunplay to the mix.
- An unexpected journey. Step into the dystopian and violent world of the Warhammer 40,000 universe where you play the part of a convict turned agent who serves the zealous Inquisition in its mission to exterminate Chaos cultist corruption.
- Your character, your playstyle. Choose your class and customize your skillset and load-out — all tailored to suit your own style of play. Upgrade your gear, customize your character’s looks, and prove your worth to the elusive Inquisitor.
The game is set for release in 2021. Check out the game’s Steam page to find out more.
