Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Launches December 3rd for PS5

Fatshark’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is coming to PS5. It will be available on December 3rd for $39.99, though you can purchase the Imperial Edition for $59.99 to start playing on November 27th (while also getting four outfits, 2500 Aquilas, and eight weapon skin patterns). Check out the announcement trailer below.

First launched for PC in 2022 before coming to Xbox Series X/S in 2023, Darktide occurs on the Chaos-occupied Tertium. Given the importance of the Hive City and the shortage of troops, the Inquisition drafts death row prisoners to their ranks. There are four classes to choose from – Veteran, Psyker, Zealot, and Ogryn – each with unique abilities and loot to earn.

Check out our review of the PC version here. Despite criticism at launch for its various bugs, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has improved vastly over the years, reworking loot, overhauling crafting, implementing a party finder, and more. Fatshark is also preparing a brand new system, Havoc, for finer-tuned difficulty increases (including new mutators). You can learn more about it here.
