'Warhammer 40,000: Darktide' Kicks Off Closed Beta - Trailer

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a four-player co-op game set in the 41st Millennium, taking you deep into the hive city and facing hordes of enemies you have only seen in your nightmares.

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 started a three-day beta where the players will get their hands on the award-winning 4-player co-op game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide via Steam, Windows PC and Geforce Now.

From October 14-16, PC gamers will be able to visit the Hive City. It sounds like a weekend getaway, but it is far from that. Expect no cucumbers on the eyes, and return fresher than ever; Monday morning will feel like a well-earned vacation instead. Tertium will throw everything but the kitchen sink at you to keep you at bay. 

Fatshark will run the first large-scale beta test during the weekend, and although it’s a closed beta, you can still sign up at Steam. We will let more players in throughout the weekend, and it might just be you that gets to visit the Hive City.

Two editions of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide are available for pre-order on Steam, Windows Store and Xbox Store.
