With Vermintide 2, Fatshark proved it could produce a truly atmospheric, lore-appropriate Warhammer world, and match it to best-in-class first-person slasher gameplay, to create one of the best Warhammer fantasy videogames of all time. It’s billed as another four-player co-op action extravaganza, taking Vermintide’s extremely successful hack-and-slash melee combat, adding in some classic 40K ranged weapons, and dumping you into the remarkably scary-looking, dark bowels of a Chaos-infested hive city to survive (plus, if you’re lucky, bring the light of the God-Emperor to some heretics). Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was announced by developer Fatshark in July 2020 – supposedly after hordes of grimdark gamers beseeched the Swedish studio to make a 40K-themed version of 2018’s Vermintide 2 – and the game has only looked more promising since then. In fact, with the possible exception of the very solid-looking turn-based strategy battler Warhammer 40K Battlesector (due out July 15), we have not been this excited about a Warhammer 40K videogame in a long time.
