Warhammer 40K: Darktide Comes to Xbox in October
24.08.2023 - 12:39 / ign.com
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.
As reported by PC Gamer, the Xbox console release will differ significantly from the heavily criticised PC launch version of the game, benefitting from a fleshed out skill tree along with a raft of other improvements.
The game was met with a wave of criticism from fans following its November 30 PC launch, with many complaining about the shooter’s unstable framerates, and seemingly incomplete gameplay mechanics.
The outcry prompted Fatshark’s CEO and co-founder Martin Wahlund to publish an open letter to fans apologising for the state of the game, which also revealed that the planned Xbox Series X|S launch would be delayed indefinitely while the company worked to address issues highlighted by the community.
According to Wahlund, the extra time would be spent remedying the performance issues that had plagued the game at launch, while also allowing for the implementation of a completed crafting system, and “a more rewarding progression loop”.
In our 2022 review we gave Warhammer 40,000: Darktide an 8/10, describing its “careful balancing act between multiple methods of murder” as “ceaselessly entertaining”, while also lamenting the performance issues and progression issues that worked to lessen the fun.

CRPGs need to be vast for your choices to matter, says Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader dev
Earlier this week I attended a hands-off preview for Owlcat's forthcoming CRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, which is shaping up nicely, inasmuch as there's anything "nice" about a Warhammer 40,000 game. Rogue Trader is a party-based affair in which you play a sort of Warhammer East Indies Company, tasked with flipping outlying worlds to the Imperium. In order to carry out this goal, you're granted a lot more individual license than most human residents of the 40K universe. You can, for instance, recruit ungodly xenos to your grimdark troupe, operate a private armada, and even colonise planets and turn them into your own personal piggybank. Just watch you don't push the whole "heresy" thing too far.

Space Marine 2 gameplay trailer goes hard to sell Warhammer 40K’s massive scale
The setting of Warhammer 40,000 is known for two things: being grim and being big. It’s a galaxy of massive scale and scope, inhabited by the dystopian Imperium of Man, dozens of deadly alien Xenos, and countless worlds under siege. This is a setting where humanity often dwells in hive cities, urban sprawls that consume entire worlds and contain billions and billions of poor souls. Space Marine 2, due out later this year, looks like it embraces the sheer size and scope of 40K, taking the player through the infrastructure of the Imperium.
