Warhammer 40K: Darktide

This is a /v/ related article, which we tolerate because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it.

Darktide is an upcoming coop first person shooter made by Vermintide developer Fatshark. The game will likely have the same gameplay as Vermintide, only in space and facing Chaos cults in an Underhive.

Setting

The game takes place on the Hive World of Atoma Prime, where a group of Nurgle worshiping assholes called "The Admonition" are plotting to take over the planet from the city of Tertium. The Inquisition has sent a small squad of Guardsmen (you guys) to figure out what the hell is going on and stop the city from falling to Chaos.

Gameplay

The game excitingly is one of very few 40k video games to feature the Guardsmen in the staring role and not the Space Marines, and will likely play similar to Vermintide, only probably leaning more towards the shooty parts of the game. As such it will likely be much closer to the L4D2 style of play than Vermintide. The game will also probably feature a class style of character system like in Vermintide, and given that an Ogryn is featured in some concept art, we may get an interesting list of characters to pick from.

More will come as more info comes out, but Guardsmen fans rejoice as they are put in the spotlight for once.

As of the game play trailer, playable classes appear to be a Sister of Battle, an Imperial Guardsman, an Ogryn and an Assassin
