Wake up, mayflies! FatShark have detailed the closed alpha for Warhammer: Vermintide 2's long-awaited Versus mode, in which the doughty Ubersreik Five go up against four player-controlled Skaven Pactsworn (translation: ratty supervillains) in addition to the rank-and-file AI-controlled rodent hordes. The alpha will launch in the "near future", and sounds like just the dollop of rancid PvP shenanigans this lapsed Elven ranger needs to re-install one of the all-time great Warhammer adaptations, which unaccountably isn't on our list of the best co-op games or the best multiplayer games on PC. You got something against horrible giant rats, Ed Thorn?

One year on from its rocky launch, co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has been on a bit of an apology tour, making major overhauls of core systems to get the game into a more lovable state. So far it's been a really successful makeover, and it's culminated in a big free expansion, The Traitor Curse, released in two parts. We got the first part last month, and now we've got details of the second, along with a promise to have it out before the winter holidays.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide released in a bashed-up state thanks to performance issues, an unfinished crafting system, a not-so-great cash shop, and wonky progression. The game clawed its way back into the good will of its players, though, especially since its recent talent tree overhaul, its recent reviews «Very Positive» on Steam at the time of writing. Fatshark is starting as it means to go on: announcing a two-part free update to celebrate its one year anniversary that'll send you to the Carnival. No, really.

Developer Fatshark has announced two major new updates for co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The two updates will be part of a bigger anniversary celebration for the game, which originally came out towards the end of 2022. Collectively, the two updates have been dubbed The Traitor Curse, and you can check out the trailer below.

The weekly NVIDIA DLSS update reveals that three games are getting Frame Generation support in the next couple of days. One of them is NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, the highly popular free-to-play melee Battle Royale game made by 24 Entertainment.

Fatshark said it would continue to support Vermintide 2 after the launch of Darktide and has done just that, with additions like new free levels and remastered levels from the original Vermintide. Next up, pyromancer Sienna will finally get her fourth career: the necromancer.

The Warhammer Vermintide 2 Necromancer is right about to burst forth her minions from the earth, unleashing the undead hordes against the forces of Chaos and the Skaven. With the new Sienna career set to launch in a Warhammer Vermintide 2 update next week, developer Fatshark gives us some insight into how the skeletons came to be, and the potential created by its new tech developed for the feature.

Last week, Warhammer 40K: Darktide, the latest co-op action game from Warhammer: Vermintide developer Fatshark, finally arrived on Xbox Series X/S. While the game was originally supposed to arrive on Xbox “shortly” after the PC release, it ended up taking nearly a year, so how has the console version shaped up with that extra development time? Well… the folks at Digital Foundry took the Xbox Series X/S version for a spin, and the results weren’t that hot. You can check out the full DF video below if you have around 15 minutes to spare, or you can scroll down for our recap of the salient points.

Warhammer 40k Darktide players eagerly awaited the latest hotfix, hoping it would address the issues that had been plaguing the game. However, following the deployment of Darktide hotfix 1.2.1, a wave of new problems emerged, leaving some players in despair. This article delves into the unexpected consequences of the hotfix, including lost loadouts and crashes, and the developer’s response to the situation.

The meat and potatoes of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide have always been solid. It’s a blast to delve into the Hive City of Tertium as a psyker, veteran, zealot, or ogryn. The game’s combat is brutal, visceral, and deeply satisfying; the soundtrack is an absolute banger and I love the chats between each character class. But the game struggled to maintain post-launch momentum due to the systems outside of each match, like weapons upgrades, character progression, and late-game variety.

The major update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide that, among other things, brings a major overhaul to the game’s classes, is out now on PC. Alongside the release of the update, the game’s Xbox Series X/S version has also been released.

In August, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide developer Fatshark gave me an early look at an update that the studio didn't think players were expecting: a complete change to the leveling system, adding RPG-style skill trees unique to each class. That update went live today, replacing the old, much simpler progression system with a more flexible array of abilities and bonuses. The patch also includes a list of balance changes so long it had to be split across two posts on the Darktide forums. 

What you can find in Warhammer 40,000 Darktide is not only a very entertaining first-person action shooter, but also a game heavily supported by their developers, Fatshark. Well, things now will change quite a bit, and this isn’t an exaggeration. Patch 13 not only brings Darktide to Xbox, but it also brings customization options thanks to the new class-specific talent trees. These will provide all the abilities buffs you will need or never thought you needed in the first place. Here is what Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Patch 13 brings to the table.

Warhammer 40K Darktide was originally scheduled to debut on Xbox Series S|X only 'shortly' after the PC version (which landed on November 30th, 2022). It turns out Xbox players had to wait for nearly a year, but the game is finally launching tomorrow on consoles, and it's also receiving major improvements.

Microsoft has announced the next wave of titles coming to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

If you drifted away from Darktide because it frontloaded all the most fun stuff into its opening hours, Patch 13 might be the one that makes you come back. Fatshark has posted a deep dive into the talent trees in advance of the class overhaul coming on October 4, and they include some pretty neat powers. Each of the classes is getting a tree that branches across three broad archetypes, with plenty of opportunities to bounce between and differentiate within them as you level up.

Developer Fatshark has posted a new deep dive into the upcoming talent trees that will be coming to co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The new talent trees will be part of patch 13 on PC, as well as Xbox release of the game on October 4.

As the Warhammer Vermintide 2 Necromancer career gets ready to unleash its undead pals on the armies of Chaos and the Skaven hordes alike, developer Fatshark reveals the weapons that Sienna will get to use in the upcoming Warhammer Vermintide 2 update. With a devastating scythe and a staff offering her unique magic abilities for the new career, you’ll be making and reanimating corpses in equal measure.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide features fun, grisly, co-op combat, but at launch was criticised for live service cruft - from an incomplete crafting system to meagre progression rewards. Some criticism also fell upon its four classes, who lacked the 'career' subclasses of its developer's previous game, Vermintide 2.

After plenty of waiting, and presumably some twiddling of thumbs for many Warhammer 40k fans, Darktide finally has an Xbox Series X/S release date.

Developer Fatshark has revealed the co-op grim dark shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will finally be coming to Xbox Series X|S consoles on October 4, almost a year after its 2022 PC release.

The Warhammer universe is filled to bursting with death, decay, and destruction, and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is no different. If you fancy reanimating the dead in the action-adventure game, though, then I have good news for you – Fatshark has revealed the all-new Necromancer career for Warhammer: Vermintide 2‘s resident spell-slinger, Sienna.

Developer Fatshark has announced that a new career is coming to Warhammer: Vermintide 2. The career will be the fourth one for Sienna, and will be the Necromancer. It is slated for release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 19.

The Xbox Series version of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will launch on October 4, developer Fatshark announced. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide has had a problematic launch that forced the developer to fix the game before releasing new content and the Xbox Series S|X version. However, developer Fatshark hasn't thrown in the towel and is now presenting a major new feature that will go live in October: full-fledged RPG-style skill trees for each class.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is getting quite an overhaul to its leveling and skill system progression. According to PCGamer, developer Fatshark will be working on bringing a new skill tree to Darktide in October.

Nine months since launch, Warhammer 40K: Darktide sits on Steam with a «Mixed» review score, both in recent and all-time reviews. There were more than a few criticisms of Darktide at launch—the unfinished crafting system, the cosmetics store, crashes and performance issues—but one of the most common and consistent I've seen is that Darktide has only four character classes, compared to its predecessor Vermintide 2's five characters (with multiple subclasses apiece). Though Darktide does offer some nicely varied skills as you level up and weapons that dramatically change your play style, it was hard not to look at the class system as a downgrade from what Vermintide 2 players were used to.

If you say the name Portal to most people in the games industry, what will jump to mind is Valve's classic first-person puzzle series.

The next incoming Warhammer 40K Darktide update will bring a bunch of welcome changes to the co-op shooter.

In recent months, co-operative industrial nightmare Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has added Chaos Spawn and new missions, as well as crossplay between the Steam and MS Store versions. In the next patch, which should be out mid-August, developer Fatshark is promising quality-of-life changes including additions to the mission board and crafting, as well as sharing the game's currencies between all of your characters.

Dying Light developer Techland raised the Tencent flag today, announcing that the Chinese gaming conglomerate Tencent will soon become the company's biggest shareholder.

If you’re a Warhammer 40k fan you’ve undoubtedly (and perhaps unfortunately) heard of Darktide, the spiritual successor to Vermintide, arguably one of the best Warhammer 40k games ever made. Unfortunately, Darktide didn’t quite live up to the reputation of its predecessor, so if you’ve been reluctant to splash the cash on it but have always fancied testing out your Psyker skills on some heretics, then I have good news: it’s on sale, just ahead of the Space Marine 2 release date.
