Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a first-person, co-op horde shooter that acts as a successor to the Warhammer: Vermintide games. Like Vermintide, players in Darktide will be able to choose from a number of classes as they face off against almost endless hordes of foes. Unlike Vermintide, which has a fantasy focus, Darktide takes players to the grimdark far future of Warhammer 40k, where they are trapped in a hive world overrun by a cult of the Chaos god Nurgle.

Darktide has faced multiple delays since it was first announced. However, recently Darktide was given a release date trailer with developer Fatshark promising that the game would launch in September 2022. As it is around four months away until fans will get their hands on Darktide, details on the game are beginning to be revealed. While through previous gameplay trailers and concept art, fans already had a good idea of how the game would play and what it would look like. However, recent reveals have shown that there are plenty of unknowns about Darktide.

Fans suspected that there would be a magic-wielding class in Darktide, as there was a wizard in Vermintide and Vermintide 2. Now, Fatshark has officially revealed that there will be a playable Psyker in Darktide. Psykers are Warhammer 40k's version of mages, as they wield the powers of the warp, which is traditionally the realm of Chaos, similarly to magic in fantasy settings. However, as the warp is unstable, it can lead to the Psyker in Darktide causing damage to themselves, similarly to Sienna in Vermintide.

Not only will Darktide have an extra class at launch, but it will allow players to customize the appearance of the characters they choose. Darktide's characters are not set in stone unlike Vermintide's classes, and a player can change anything from their character's hair to gender. It is unknown whether this will impact the banter seen in Darktide, as most fans praised Vermintide's banter due to it being related to specific characters they grew to love.

According to Fatshark, the dialogue and banter within Darktide will outshine previous entries from the developer. Darktide will allegedly feature 75,000 lines of dialogue between characters, meaning it could show a similar depth of dialogue seen in games like Hades. Moreover, as Darktide reaches the months following its launch, the game's storyline and missions will continue to develop, similar to a live service. Some fans were fearful of this turning into a Destiny 2 approach to story, where some content becomes locked away forever in the game's Content Vault. However, most are seeing this as an additive approach, where the game's story will be added to over time, and not replaced with newer content.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide releases on September 13 2022 for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
