Warhammer 40,000: Darktide News

Community Comm-Link 27th July 2023

[h2]Rejects,[/h2]
This is Catfish, Darktide Community Manager, here with another comm-link update.

The comms team is back from its break and so are comm-links! Due to the summer hiatus, this edition will be shorter than usual. We will also have a slower pace of Comm-links for the foreseeable future, to make way for more varied types of comms, such as dev blogs.

Here is what you can expect for the coming weeks on Darktide:

On August 3rd, we will publish a Dev Blog focusing on upcoming changes in Patch #12 (1.1.20), giving you an in-depth look at our plans for account based currencies, perk refinements, adjustments to crafting locks and options on the mission board.
In the first half of August we will be releasing Patch #12 alongside its patchnotes.

See you next week for the Dev Blog!

The most controversial Warhammer 40k game is on sale

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.

Warhammer 40k Darktide crossplay is here at last

Warhammer 40k Darktide just made me a very happy man, with news that Darktide crossplay is being included in the latest round of patch notes. Warhammer 40k Darktide patch 11 also introduces a new condition that rather dramatically alters the way you approach the grimdark co-op FPS game, along with a round of blessing and weapon balance changes.
