'Warhammer 40,000: Darktide' Comes To PS5 In December - Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 7, 2024 @ 10:41 p.m. PST

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.

As Tertium falls, Rejects Will Rise.

Fatshark announces the opening of pre-orders for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, which will be coming digitally to PlayStation 5 on December 3rd, 2024. Those who pre-order the Imperial Edition will be eligible to play six days early.

Players will be able to purchase the Standard Edition of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide from the PlayStation Store for $39.99/39.99€. In addition, PlayStation Plus subscribers will get a 10% discount on the Standard Edition and 15% on the Imperial Edition.

The PlayStation 5 version will contain all content and improvements made since the PC launch, and will be labeled PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced. The game will be supporting:

  • DualSense Haptic Feedback
  • Frame rate of 60 FPS on a 4K resolution for PlayStation 5 Pro
  • Performance mode (60FPS on a 1440p resolution) and Quality Mode (30FPS on a 4K resolution) for PlayStation 5. 

Key Features:

  • Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s best-in-class melee combat, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduces intense WH40K gunplay to the mix. Master the balance between ranged and melee combat as you fight through a slew of enemies. Feel the impact of each swipe, swing, and slice of a chainsword, or fry some flesh with a lasgun.
  • At its core, Darktide is a co-op game. Wandering too far, risks punishment by foes looking to immobilize or capture stray Rejects, such as the slavering Chaos Hound or the Moebian Trapper. Once you fall prey to such foes, only your teammates can save you! More than that, your innate toughness – your determination to press on through the pain – only recharges when you are in the proximity of your strike team.
  • Create your own, unique character and customize their physical appearance, voice, and origin. Choose your class to determine which unique traits and skill sets they will make use of in battle. Will you be a seasoned veteran of the Imperial army, a snarky outsider, or a fiery zealot? The choice is yours.
  • Step into the violent, dystopian world of Warhammer 40,000. From boiling hot industrial factories to the decaying water maintenance zone afflicted by constant acid rainfall - Tertium Hive is a hard and unforgiving place even at the best of times. Your role is to serve the zealous Inquisition by embarking on missions to exterminate the threats lurking in the depths of the hive city, or die trying.
  • Adapt to the erratic whims of Chaos with conditions- mutators that add a spontaneous challenge to your mission. Your team must learn to adjust, adopt new tactics and change up their loadouts to face these ruthless challenges.

Currently available for PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X|S, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is coming to PS5 on December 3, 2024.
