Darktide Release Date: The Signal has released its first content update for Warhammer 40:000 Darktide for PC and PC Game Pass, bringing with it a new adventure, two new weapons, additional crafting possibilities, and some good ol’ bug patches.
It’s a good upgrade that will excite PC users, but Xbox users won’t be as excited because there is still no word on when the forthcoming Series X/S version will be released.
However, given that the PC version of Darktide has also received positive reviews and that the game’s developers, Fatshark, also worked on the highly regarded Warhammer: Vermintide 2, we are confident that the Xbox release will be well worth the wait.
Here is all you need to know about Warhammer 40,000 Darktide in the interim, including the most recent information on the Xbox Series X/S release date, pre-order, gameplay specifics, and more.
What Is Warhammer 40000: Darktide?
The first-person action video game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was created and released by Fatshark. It is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. On November 30, 2022, Microsoft Windows users could download it. Xbox Series X/release S’s will be announced at a later time.
Warhammer 40000: Darktide Release Date
The PC version of Darktide was released on November 30, 2022. The debut date for the Xbox Series X/S version is currently unknown. The launch of the Xbox Series X/S is still promised to occur “shortly after,” which at this time probably won’t happen until the beginning of 2023.
The release of Darktide was initially planned for 2021, however, it was repeatedly postponed because of the COVID epidemic and a need to “increase stability, performance, and to mature key systems.”
Which Consoles And Platforms Can Play Darktide?
Darktide was released today for PC and was available on PC Game Pass from the start. A later date will see the release of the Warhammer 40,000 game for Xbox Series X/S, which is anticipated to go live simultaneously with the Xbox Game Pass.
Warhammer 40000: Darktide Gameplay
The Warhammer 40k universe is being recreated by the same creators Fatshark who previously oversaw the well-liked co-op action game Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
Though the fantastical melee weapons of Vermintide have been replaced by futuristic chainsaws, power swords, and ranged weaponry, the gameplay will still consist of four-player cooperative action.
Additionally, you may now customize your character by selecting your gender, looks, and one of the four classes—Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn, or Psyker.
The narrative of the game is authored by Warhammer novelist and franchise veteran Dan Abnett, and it centers on a group of Inquisitorial Agents who are looking into a possible Chaos invasion of Tertium’s Hive City.
The Inquisition sends players to several Tertian sectors to fight the Nurgle infestation in this wave-based combat game, which is based on the ship Mourningstar. The gameplay and plot of Darktide are intended to change over time as a live-service game.
