Steam listing for "Warhammer 40,000: Darktide" has emerged
- Thread starter Arthands
- Start date
I'm hyped! I wonder what happened to the saber interactive 40k game though? I thought this was that for a moment.
Love Vermintide and have full confidence in the character writing/voice direction from Fatshark given how amazing the Vermintide cast is. I'm absolutely down.
This is a complete no brainer, working your way through a hive.
God knows why Games Workshop haven't launched a decent game like this years ago.

Nah, unless the devs have ignored all art for genestealer cults those don't look like genestealer cultists.
The characters in the first two screenshots look like plague zombies.
Zombie looking dudes with single horns. One of them even has Nurgle's symbol on their forehead.
Its 100% Nurgle plague related, those are plague zombies and nothing else. A bit of a shame because apparently Genestealer Cults is too far separated from the plague theme.
That being said, no reason we can't have chaos and tyranids in the same game.

I admit I was hoping this was going to be a single player deal, as WH40K is seriously lacking in that genre.
Still stoked though.
Inevitable thread title?

Looks fun, hope it is.
After Fatshark fucked up Vermintide 2 with the addon I'm slightly worried about this.
Imperial Guards isn't exactly what I would choose for such a game either but it's more W40k so I can't complain.

I'll be super surprised if we end up playing as some generic guardsmen. There's an inquisitor involved so maybe their retinue will come into play.
They're not Guard, they're Inquisitorial Acolytes. Though probably freshly seconded from the Guard or maybe even the PDF since the speaker doesn't care much for their survival. Definitely not warband regulars.
I guess they didn't want to do Space Smurfs to avoid being likened to that Deathwing game.
I don't think they would make a game that sounds and looks exactly like a 40k copy of Vermintide and present exactly 4 characters in the trailer and not make them the playable ones.
But maybe as an inquisitor strike team at least one of them may has an upgrade to a Space Marine armor at one point?
I think it's supposed to be Tempestus Scions in the video. It would be cool if you could play as an Eversor though.
Imperial Guard have had ZERO Pov games; let them have this one for the Emperor's sake...
Also, what are the player characters? I would like proper space marines and genestealers, please.
I wouldn't expect any of the more esoteric Agents of the Inquisition.
On the scale of likely to never coming, Hive-scum, Guardsmen and Fanatics are somewhat likely, with Guardsmen shown (or possibly scum in Guard gear). Arbites, Death-cult Assassins, Crusaders and Psykers maybe as an advanced class. Proper Assassins and Sisters of Battle most likely not. Space Marines never, they'd be too powerful.
I missed the boat on Vermintide, but I'm definitely interested in getting in on this one.
Spess Muhreen was great, including its super-underrated multiplayer.
Loved that game, too bad we didn't get DLC. Could've done some different races, Space Marines are a bit overdone.
And Dawn of War went to shit.
To be fair THQ wasn't in... how to say it....a good place back than so a sequel might have happened if THQ was in a better financial state. A sequel was in development actually.

Now don't get me wrong, a game where you played as Deathwatch jumping into nightmarish scenarios in a similar game to this would be fine.. but yeah, getting to play as the poor bloody guardsman is fine by me. I'll be quoting from my primer to inspire my comrades.
I kinda feel like this probably isn't the actual squad? Just because if they're building it out like Vermintide, the squad's going to need to be more diverse in terms of roles and visuals. These dudes all look the same. If it's an Inquisitorial retinue, I'd expect a Stormtrooper or two, but also stuff like a Commissar, a Sanctioned Psyker, maybe a Sister or an Assassin.
Still, excited as hell. Love Vermintide.
