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.
Darktide's classes will therefore get an overhaul October 4th, when an update will introduce skill trees for each class.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was supposed to be released on PC, and Xbox Series X/S consoles simultaneously. Then, the Xbox version was pushed back. In January, developer Fatshark revealed in an open letter that the Xbox version has been delayed indefinitely, as the studio was in the midst of dealing with a long list of issues, and negative player sentiment around the PC release.
Now, the fabled Xbox Series X/S has re-emerged, and it's going to be in our hands on October 4. As initially promised, this is also when Xbox Game Pass members will be able to play it, as it arrives on the service on day one.
The Xbox Series X/S version will include all the quality of life updates, fixes, performance improvements, and post-launch content from the PC version, which released at the end of November last year. That's not all, the release will also coincide with a major overhaul to Darktide's class and feat system.
