Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience.

In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness. A heretical cult known as the Admonition seeks to seize control of the planet Atoma Prime and lay waste to its inhabitants. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.

Players will not be able to hide behind lethal ranged weapons, they'll need to combine both FPS and melee skills as they get up close and personal in visceral clashes between Imperium and Chaos factions. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will bring everything you have come to expect from the developers of the multimillion selling award-winning Warhammer: Vermintide franchise.

Fatshark is bringing their co-op gameplay to the 41st Millennium and, with the help of Dan Abnett, the developer is confident it’s bringing the best possible 40,000 experience to gamers.

Dan Abnett is well known in the Warhammer universe for his best-selling novels. He’s also renowned for his work in the comic book industry, which includes projects that have become major Hollywood movies, and for his award winning game work. For Warhammer characters, swords are often the most powerful weapons, but in Dan’s case the pen is mightier.

“Dan Abnett has over two decades of experience working with Warhammer 40,000, and we are thrilled to collaborate with him and give players the game they deserve.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO and Co-Founder Fatshark
