“Players will not be able to hide behind lethal ranged weapons,” said Fatshark on the gameplay. Instead of entering an arcology containing millions of humans, the soldiers find themselves among hordes of enemies from a Chaos cult instead, thrusting them into the center of a battle for survival. Players will play as forces of the Imperium, sent to investigate a hive city called Tertium. As its name suggests, instead of the fantasy world of the original Warhammer franchise, this game will take place in the distant sci-fi future of the brutal and grim universe of Warhammer 40K. Humanity is kept at war with every alien and heretic in order to keep the empire propped up hence the tagline for the setting “In the grimdarkness of the far-future, there is only war.Much like its two previous successors, the new first-person-shooter adopts a Left 4 Dead-styled four-player co-op mode as you fight through waves of enemies to reach certain objectives. Society has regressed into a authoritarian cult under the authority of the God-Emperor, a decaying corpse kept alive by the sacrifice of thousands of psykers (the word in the setting for wizards).
Humanity has spread across the stars thanks to an army of super-human warriors called Space Marines and billions of normal human soldiers called the Astra Militarum. The setting is 38,000 years in the future from our current time, hence the title Warhammer 40,000. What is Warhammer 40,000 and what is Darktide about? Xbox players have to wait even longer though it is still listed as being available this year. The game was initially slated for release last year but covid-19 related delays mean it is released for PC players today. The game is released today, 30 November, after a successful Beta test. While popular for its miniature wargame, a number of big titles have been released in recent years such as Space Marine, Dawn of War, and now Darktide. Fans of gaming, video or tabletop, are looking forward to the next installment of the Warhammer 40,000 series.
