It's been back to back weeks for the Monday Night crew here at Co-Optimus, hooked on the pre-release beta for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. If you've played one of the Vermintide games, you know what this is all about, except now we've 38 thousand years in the gritty war torn future.
We've been super excited for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the follow-up to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, ever since the game was announced back in 2020. Fatshark, the Sweden-based developer, has done a fine job of rolling out new information and cinematics trailers since that first announcement. However, gameplay footage has been conspicuously absent until now. At long last, the latest, freshest trailer shows us just what Darktide looks like in action. Spoiler: it looks like a cooperative blast!
Even as Warhammer: Vermintide 2 continues to get updates, Swedish developer Fatshark is preparing their next big game. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a co-op focused first-person action/shooting game set in the sci-fi branch of the Warhammer universe. Preorders are now open for the upcoming Xbox and PC game, and a new trailer lets gamers know what dark tidings the game has in store for them.
It's rarely a happy occasion when a highly anticipated game gets pushed back, which has just happened with Fatshark's Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The sci-fi-themed cooperative first-person shooter from the creators of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 was already pushed back once before. This cloud has a silver lining, however: Darktide finally ...
In this post-Left 4 Dead 2 world, numerous clones and spiritual successors like the upcoming Back 4 Blood and Evil Dead: The Game are left to make up for the absence of an official L4D sequel. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 from Fatshark is the best of what's actually out right now, so we're naturally looking forward to the sequel/spin-off Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Unfortunately, we'll need to wait a while longer because Darktide's release has been delayed to 2022.
Off the back of their twin successes, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark has decided to take yet another dip into the waters of co-op, first person gameplay. This time, though, they've left behind the dark, medieval setting of Warhammer Fantasy and flung themselves into the dark, sci-fi future of Warhammer 40,000.
