Developer Fatshark took to the official site to reveal the anniversary update coming to action shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Titled The Traitor Curse, this free two-part update will bring more content to the game. Part 1 will release during November, Part 2 will follow before the winter holidays in December.
Among other new additions, players will get to explore the new HABZONE HL70-04, commonly referred to as ‘The Carnival’ by the citizens of Tertium.
“Since the release of Darktide we’ve learnt a lot about combat (which has evolved in itself) and what makes for fun and interesting engagements. Our ambition has always been that all classes, playstyles and loadouts should be able to find their opportunity to shine. With The Carnival we’ve aimed to refine that further and we’re looking forward to hearing about your experiences with this latest chapter in Darktide’s history.”
The Traitor Curse Part 1 – Features:
- New Cinematic: Learn about the motivations of the Moebian 6th and discover The Carnival, a new disreputable zone promising transgressive distractions and entertainment.
- New Zone & Mission: Strike at the heart of the Moebian 6th operations and fend off hordes of enemies in Mercantile located in The Carnival.
- Inspect Feature: Inspect player loadouts in The Mourningstar.
- Update to Veteran Talent Tree: Enjoy many changes and tweaks made to the Veteran tree, including the addition of Keystones (due to these changes, Veterans will see their talent tree reset and players will have to re-assign talent points).
