"And since we have a lot of great modders, they also want to tweak individual weapons, talents and other stuff. "As we've seen in Vermintide, players really enjoy tweaking their loadouts,” creative director Anders De Geer told us.
We know from Edge that plasma guns will feature, and given that it's a 40K game, boltguns are a dead cert for inclusion. One of the other characters hurls a frag grenade to break up a horde at one point as well. The ogryn's sawn-off grenade launcher also doubles as a melee weapon, which is nice. There's also some kind of shotgun or perhaps just a real heavy-duty autopistol. Multiple characters in the trailers have autoguns for continuous fire, and there seems to be two lasguns, one a sniper's long-las. The psyker apparently gets access to a force sword.ĭarktide has more of a focus on ranged weapons than Vermintide, however, and it seems like we'll be modifying our loadout with plenty of those. That last one may sound underwhelming, but it's a blade the size of an ordinary human being. One of the veterans wields an iconic 40K chainsword and the other a power sword, the zealot has a thunder hammer, and the ogryn a real big knife.

In an Edge magazine feature we saw another class: a psyker who draws psychic power from the warp, but may well explode if they rely on it too much. We got a closer look at them in the release date trailer. One of them wore a face mask like the kasrkin, elite storm troopers from the planet Cadia. Working together cooperatively, players must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from hordes of relentless, power hungry Skaven, across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire.Darktide's gameplay trailer debuted at The Game Awards in 2020, and gave us a look at four characters: an ogryn (an oversized descendant of humans sent to harsh, high-gravity worlds generations ago), a hammer-wielding religious zealot who may well be a confessor or some other servant of the Imperial faith, and two soldiers who seem to be veteran members of the Imperial Guard.
