Warhammer 40,000: Darktide takes the core formula of Fatshark’s Vermintide series and brings it to the battlefields of the 41st Millenium. Players will explore the dark depths of the hive city of Tertium as a ragtag Inquisition Kill Team looking to stop a Chaos cult before it can overrun the entire planet. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will feature a strong mix of ranged and melee combat using many iconic 40k weapons, like chainswords, plasma guns, and lasguns.

You can find the rundown (via Steam) below:

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.
