Fatshark have released a new gameplay trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide as part of the Summer Game Fest 2022.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide seeks to transfer the formula of Warhammer: Vermintide to the grim darkness of the far future. Players will get to create their own custom character from a variety of backgrounds and classes before setting out to save the hive city of Tertium from a Chaos incursion. The game will blend the visceral melee combat of Vermintide with a greater emphasis on ranged weapons drawn from 40k‘s iconic arsenal.
Fatshark also confirmed the PC version of Darktide will support Nvidia DLSS, Ray Tracing, and Reflex.
“It’s been an exciting, and maybe a little crazy week for Fatshark, with two brand new Warhammer 40,000: Darktide trailers released,” Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund said in a press release. “While last week’s amazing Warhammer Skulls trailer focused more on story, gameplay is what it all comes down to, and today we gave you almost 120 seconds of Darktide.”

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience. From the developers of the best-selling and award-winning co-op action franchise Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city of Tertium.
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness. A heretical cult known as the Admonition seeks to seize control of the planet Atoma Prime and lay waste to its inhabitants. It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
