Gameplay

The game will use a similar formula to that used in Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide 2 in which four players cooperate to defeat periodic waves of AI-controlled enemies.[2][3] Rather than a set of pre-made characters, the game will allow players to customize their class, appearance and gender.[4] The four classes consist of a Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn and Psyker.[5] All classes will make use of a regenerating shield.[6]

Unlike in Vermintide 2, multiple missions will take place in the same area, some of which will include optional secondary objectives that allow players to obtain better loot.[6] Difficulty will be divided in two variables, one affecting enemy count and the other damage received from enemies.[6] Progression will be split between random rewards, an in-game currency that will allow the purchase of weapons and a contract system to earn a weapon of your choice.[6] Crafting will also allow the player to upgrade their weapons and increase their stats.[6]

Plot

The game's story, written by author Dan Abnett, will focus on a squad of Inquisitorial Agents investigating a potential Chaos infiltration on the planet Atoma Prime in the Hive City of Tertium.[7][8] The plot is set to evolve over time in a manner that parallels a live service,[4] continuing to develop on a weekly basis and following a set meta narrative.[9]

Development

The game was first announced in July 2020 during the Xbox Series X and Series S showcase event in which Fatshark showed plans for a 2021 release.[10] A gameplay trailer was released on 10 December 2020, which showcased the use of weapons such as a Lasgun and a chainsword being used to defeat hordes of Poxwalkers and chaos traitors.[7] Among the playable characters, an Imperial Guardsman and an Ogryn could be observed. The developers commented that Darktide is planned to be less melee focused than Vermintide 2, getting closer to a 50/50 split between melee and ranged combat.[11]

In July 2021 Fatshark announced that due to difficulties arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the release date would be pushed back from 2021 to spring 2022.[12] The release date was again pushed back to 13 September 2022 in an announcement which was accompanied by a new trailer.[7] A further delay pushing the release back to 30 November 2022 was later announced.[13]

A closed beta was made available to some players on 14 October 2022 and ran for two days.[14]
