Warhammer 40,000: Darktide News

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide's next update will add skill trees to all four classes

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.

Patch #13 - Class Overhaul - Coming October 4

We will release a new patch for Darktide in October which will overhaul its class and feat systems, introducing talent trees.

Each class will have 1 talent tree featuring 3 main paths. Each path will feature many nodes and several additional abilities, allowing players to tinker with their playstyle and create different builds for their characters

After a year in limbo, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide finally has a release date on Xbox

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.

Студия Fatshark представила трейлер Warhammer 40000: Darktide, посвящённый консольному релизу кооперативного шутера. До Xbox Series X|S проект доберётся 4 октября, то есть спустя почти год с момента выхода на ПК. В тот же день Warhammer 40000: Darktide станет доступен подписчикам Game Pass.
