Cheeky squadmate banter and clever winks toward the tabletop game's intricate lore don't quite make up for there being no broader narrative tissue holding everything together. Regrettably, Darktide's story never grows into a tale worthy of note across the 13 playable missions. The massive hive city of Tertium is overflowing with zombie-esque hordes, gun-toting preachers spouting blasphemous gospel, and all sizes of misshapen, rift-powered monstrosities that you'll joyously slaughter by the thousands as a conscripted convict. New missions could also explore other types of Hive Cities and Forge Worlds, or even more natural areas with vicious fauna.Darktide opens like many other wondrously over-embellished Warhammer 40,000 stories before it: with a legion of Chaos-worshipping Poxwalker traitors causing trouble. It's also not unthinkable that other locations, missions and even types of enemies could be introduced into the game, such as the vicious Tyranids or brutal Orks. Past Fatshark games were expanded with DLC, so while it's pure speculation, we could see new types of squadmates to choose from added in the future. Much like in Vermintide, there'll be various characters to choose from, including the hulking Abhuman Ogryn, large ogre-like beings loyal to the forces of humanity.įatshark is currently promising that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will be 4K 60FPS on Xbox Series X as part of being Xbox Series X Optimized. While melee combat will be included, ranged combat will also be a viable option given the range of guns and projectile weapons available in the 40K universe.ĭuring the trailer, we see one guardsmen's Lasgun repeatedly fizzle and malfunction, perhaps indicating that players will face electronic challenges in navigating the dark underbelly of Tertium.
It'll be first-person like in the Vermintide games that were also developed by Fatshak and will similarly support four-player co-op, so it could end up being one of the best Xbox shooters available. Right now, we still don't know a lot about the gameplay in Warhammer 40,000 Darktide. Source: Fatshark (Image credit: Source: Fatshark)
