Alongside showing off the release date, the short trailer also displays the playable characters in Darktide in a calmer scenario than fans may be used to, as all the Inquisitorial agents that players can pick from are playing cards rather than fighting the servants of Nurgle.Īllowing players to play as human agents rather than Warhammer's hulking Space Marines marks a fairly unique event in Warhammer 40,000 games. This will hopefully calm the fears of a few fans worried that the game wouldn't be coming out until 2023. Rather than set a period or month in time for when the game is likely to be released, Darktide developer Fatshark has stated that the game will be available on both PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 13, 2022. Now, alongside the reveal of a short, new trailer, the end of the Darktide delays seems in sight, as Fatshark revealed the game's new release date. However, like many other games being developed over the course of the pandemic, Darktide was hit with multiple delays, pushing it from a 2021 release date to some time in 2022. With a story written by renowned Warhammer author Dan Abnett and the horde-based gameplay that Vermintide players will be used to, fans were immediately excited for Darktide. RELATED: Games Workshop Wants More AAA Warhammer Video Games Both the Vermintide series and developer Fatshark were met with praise from critics and fans of Warhammer, with many citing Vermintide 2's consistent updates as a reason to pick up the game even four years after it released. Skaven, alongside Chaos worshippers and huge bosses, the games made for a great amount of fun for four players. Allowing players to cut down hordes of rat-men, a.k.a. Warhammer: Vermintide and Vermintide 2 proved to be incredibly successful co-op action games set in the fantasy portion of the famous Warhammer universe. Revealed in July of 2020, Darktide places players in a hive city that has been overtaken by Warhammer's Chaos god Nurgle. Darktide, the next game in Fatshark's lineup, sought to do just that. The most logical option seemed for the games to transition from the grimdark fantasy setting of Warhammer to its equally dark sci-fi setting, Warhammer 40,000. With it being so long since Vermintide 2 initially dropped and the Warhammer Fantasy setting having officially reached its end, many were wondering where Fatshark would go next.
