Developer Fatshark has announced that its next major update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, titled Path of Redemption, will be released later today. Celebrating the update, the studio has released a new trailer that showcases some of the new content coming to the game. Check it out below.
The update largely revolves around changing up how players can unlock cosmetic rewards through an overhaul of the game’s penance system. With the update, players will be able to progress through a new track with more than 40 tiers by earning penance points. There are also now more than 200 penances, which can help in unlocking the over 100 new rewards coming to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
There are also now new types of rewards players can earn, namely titles. These titles are a new way for players to show off their achievements in the game. Titles can also be earned through the new rewards system.
When it comes to core gameplay, Darktide is also getting new puzzles, challenges and collectibles throughout its levels. There is also the new Dreg Tox Bomber enemy that throws grenades filled with toxic fumes at players. Players tackling higher level difficulties will also start facing the Pox Gas as a new condition.
The Pox Gas is a new environmental hazard that changes up gameplay spaces that players are used to traversing. It blocks off shortcuts, and even promotes quick thinking by putting the Pox Gas in the path of the mission’s core objectives.
