'Warhammer 40,000: Darktide' Shows Off Gameplay, Will Support NVIDIA DLSS, Ray Tracing And Reflex At Launch - 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.

In the brand-new gameplay video, highlighting a mission playthrough, Heretics sabotaged Tertium’s power system, and it is up to the four (anti)heroes to save the day. The job is simple, the risks are high, and the action is gloriously gory.

“It’s been an exciting, and maybe a little crazy week for Fatshark, with two brand new Warhammer 40,000: Darktide trailers released,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. “While last week’s amazing Warhammer Skulls trailer focused more on story, gameplay is what it all comes down to, and today we gave you almost 120 seconds of Darktide.”  

Fatshark also announced that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will launch with NVIDIA DLSS, Ray Tracing, and Reflex.  

Enabling ray tracing on a GeForce RTX GPU, desktop or laptop will greatly enhance the visual fidelity and immersion of Darktide. Using NVIDIA DLSS, players can maximize performance with the power of AI while fighting back hordes of bloodthirsty foes. And with NVIDIA Reflex, responsiveness in the game will be at its best with the lowest latency possible.

Players who don’t own a GeForce RTX PC or laptop can still play Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with GeForce performance at launch by streaming it from the cloud with NVIDIA GeForce NOW.
