Developer Fatshark has revealed the system requirements for its upcoming co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The system requirements cover a wide range of frame rates and visual qualities, and have been divided into requirements for playing with ray tracing and without.

Leading up to its release, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has seen a series of trailers highlighting its four playable characters. The most recent trailer shows off the Psyker and its Psykinetic sub-class, with earlier trailers showing off Ogryn and Skullbreaker, Zealot and Preacher, and Veteran and Sharpshooter.

The game also recently got a trailer that introduces the grim setting of Warhammer 40,000. While focusing on acting as an introduction for newcomers to the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the trailer also had several Easter eggs for pre-existing fans.
