Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is is launching September 13th on Xbox Series S/X and PC via Steam. Also Day 1 on Game Pass.
Loved Vermintide and put a disgusting amount of hours into two so I am really pumped for this.
Between this, the CRPG, Demonhunters and the new Space Marine game this is gonna be a damn good time for 40K games

Old gameplay trailer from Dec 2020... but yeah lol. Been 1.5 years since gameplay last shown kinda nuts.

I'd love another game (or ten) featuring the Adepta Sororitas, to be honest.
PC Gamepass?
Loved Vermintide and Vermintide 2 so much. I trust Fatshark at this point. Only one gameplay trailer doesn't bother me.

Sure Rogue Traders fall roughly under the banner of the imperium but it's not like there're that many games were one can play as this faction.
A game about Space Marines is not the same as a game about the imperial guard or the Mechanicus. Hell, even the Space Marines are just an overarching name for dozens of chapters, each with their own lore and interesting mechanics.
But yeah i agree that a game from the point of view of other bigger factions would be neat.
Yes, day one launch on GP, both PC and Xbox.
Hyping up things for almost a month and then doing a countdown for the last 5 days only to reveal a trailer without any actual gameplay that tells and shows us stuff we already know about is a pretty poor move.
A Space Nuns game in the same vein as Space Marine would be insta-buy.
Oh man. Always wanted a Vermintide in the 40k universe. Unbelievable that it's nearly there.
I really hope we see some gameplay during the Xbox showcase. One of my most anticipated coop games since years!

Oh shit that's right. Did they confirm something there or is this just wishful thinking? It is coming to gamepass day one so maybe Microsoft conference will show something?
I think they're just building hype before it gets lost in Summer Games Fest.

The developer did confirm it in a youtube comment under the video.
Seeing it be on game pass is a nice surprise, definitely gonna use that to convince some friends to give it a shot. With how much I played Vermintide 1 and 2, I was already on board lol. Excited to see what they have for gameplay during summer games fest!
I'd be interested if they embraced what makes the Sisters of Battle crazy and unique, and not just Lady Space Marines.
I wanna mow down heretics with a Melta gun, shower battlefields with Holy Water, and drop churches on mfers.
When was the last time you played anything as an Ogryn?
Ideally though whatever comes after this is hopefully more like Kill Team when it comes to playable characters
Imagine the singularity that would arise from Paradox's DLC schemes colliding with Games Workshop usual pocket emptying tactics.
Probably just like Vermintide, 5 total characters (maybe multiple "careers" too) but only 4 players go on missions.
hoping that's the case, yeah
every trailer has had changes to the characters now lol
EDIT: https://youtu.be/0Q_cbBr_t0M
yeah the teaser still has her in there, most likely 5 characters then at least
Yyyyup
I'm basic as hell because I love me some Ultramarines and Adepta Sororitas
PC and Xbox I would not be surprised if there's crossplay. At least for the Windows Store side.
They've announced how the "Premium Currency" works mentioned on the store page stuff that was revealed alongside this trailer:
"Store FAQ
What's in the premium store?
The premium store is focused on cosmetic items, that is, character skins, weapon skins, and other smaller customizable items, as well as DLC content.
How does premium currency work?
Aquilas are the currency used in the Premium Store to purchase any of the items available in it. Aquilas are currently only obtainable via in-game purchase.
How does in-game currency (Tertium Twins) work?
Twins are a currency earned by doing activities in game, such as completing missions or selling salvaged items. This currency is used for other ingame activities such as improving equipment. This currency is not usable for acquiring cosmetics from the premium store.
How can I get cosmetics?
There 2 ways of getting cosmetics: progressing through the game or acquiring them through the premium store. Progress cosmetics will be given out as the player progresses through the story and the different challenges the game offers. Premium store cosmetics can be acquired as long as they're available and can be equipped by any character of that class, account-wide.
How can I manage my cosmetics?
Cosmetics are parts of sets, which means they usually have matching parts that make for some really cool looks, however, players are free to swap around each part independently and make their own looks."

I know microtransactions are common in games now and vermintide 2 had similar, but I still really dislike the idea of locking off cosmetics behind a paywall arbitrarily, especially in a game said to be so focused on customization and creating you character. It's still content where they've made a decision to negatively affect players at no benefit to them.

Frequently Asked Questions (updated 25 July) :: Warhammer 40,000: Darktide The Mourningstar - General Discussions
What is Darktide? 4 player Co-Op Action Adventure in the Warhammer 40K Universe. If you've played Vermintide, think Vermintide in 40K flavor. When is Darktide coming out? November 30th 2022. I don’t know much about 40K - what should I check out or read up on? Some great reads to get you familiar...

For anyone who wants one of those good old our long lore drops, Fatshark partnered with Luetin09 who is a popular 40K lore content creator on Youtube, and gave him all of the background on the Hiveworld In which Darktide takes place for an exclusive deep dive lore dump. It's good watch.
Only in 40K is your content creator influence done through hour long, super in depth lore vids lmao.
