Fatshark has announced a delay for Warhammer 40K: Darktide’s seasonal content and another delay for the Xbox Series X/S version. In a new tweet, the developer revealed that it would spend the next few months addressing feedback from fans.
It will specifically “focus on delivering a complete crafting system, a more rewarding progression loop, and continue to work on game stability and performance optimization.” The release of premium cosmetics is also suspended since the developer felt it hadn’t addressed “many feedback areas in the game today.”
Warhammer 40K: Darktide launched on November 30th last year for PC, with the Xbox Series X/S version to be released shortly after (until now, that is). It has a “Mixed” rating on Steam with 56 percent positive user reviews out of 51,739. However, the recent reviews are “Mostly Negative.” Despite praise for its gameplay and aesthetic, the lack of crafting functions at launch, performance issues, microtransactions and so on have been heavily criticized.
Time will tell how Fatshark addresses this, so stay tuned in the coming months. You can also check out our review of the PC version here.
