He’s hackin’ and wackin’ and smackin’
Warhammer 40,000: Darktideis a far-future follow-up toVermintide, and that’s pretty much all it needed toget a foot in the door– but gameplay footage, especially with so many CG-only reveals at The Game Awards, is appreciated. After last night’s showing, Fatshark released an extended trailer.
This should be a damn good time in co-op. That’s it: that’s my takeaway. Let me at ’em.
Darktideis going to throw four players (who’s calling dibs on the Ogryn?) into a bustling hive city, and unlike the mostly-melee-centricVermintide, guns are plentiful. I’m curious to see how they balance melee and ranged combat in such a way that both feel powerful depending on the situation at hand.
As much as I fell offVermintideand missed a bunch of the DLC, I dug thefeelof that game. Between the40Ksetting, crunchy combat, and the class/gear progression, I’m all the way in onDarktide.
As the trailer says, this is a 2021 release onSteamand Xbox Series X/S– it’s skipping last-gen.
