Warhammer 40,000: Darktide brings grimdark co-op to PlayStation with PS5 Pro modifications on Dec 3
Hi people! My name is Juan Martinez, professional producer at Fatshark and part of the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide group. I’d like to allowed all PlayStation gamers to the four-player co-operative grimdark knowledge we have created. Now we opened exposure to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide for PS5 people who pre-ordered the Imperial Edition. We are very excited to announce that the activity will be available for all PS5 people on December 3. Darktide initially launched on Laptop in November 2022 and since then we have been working daily to increase the match, including nine key additions and 25+ updates value of information and improvements. The launch on PS5 coincides with the launch of our 10th big free release: Grim Protocols. And we have even more in business for you in the years back! Fast paced-combat, Fatshark design We have dreamt of making a match set in the Warhammer 40,000 world for decades, and with Darktide, we’ve turned this fantasy into reality. Darktide is a four-player co-op activity sport in which you play as a conscripted prisoner – a Accept – serving the Inquisition in reclaiming the town of Tertium, which has fallen to swarms of Chaos. To succeed, you’ll switch between fight and ranged battle, a hybrid program we’ve worked hard to perfect. Bringing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide to PS5 and PS5 Pro While developing Darktide for PS5, we focused on delivering the best possible expertise to people. We spent a great deal of time and effort in adapting the match to the PS5 technology. PS5 users have the freedom to choose between Performance mode ( running at 60FPS on a 1440p resolution ) and Quality mode ( running at 30FPS on a 4K resolution ). For those of you with a PS5 Pro, we harnessed PSSR systems to obtain Warhammer 40,000: Darktide running at a constant 60FPS at 4K solution. We also spent quite a bit of time with the dynamic drives and sensory input characteristics of the DualSense cellular controller. Our team wants the DualSense controller to feel like a natural extension of the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide experience. From the iconic Boltgun firing explosive rounds, to the point accuracy of the energy-based Lasgun or a Force Staff channeling psyker powers, each weapon provides a unique experience whenever you swap gear. Automatic weapons have never felt as good as they do with the DualSense controller’s haptic rumble and trigger effects. Feel the triggers shaking with every shot, while the rumble is punching away inside the DualSense controller. When your ammo count is getting lower, the triggers feel more intense, so you always know when you are about to run dry. Feeling the blades of the Chainsword spinning and the haptic feedback of your blade cutting through the flesh of heretics and demons is pure, grisly enjoyment. We can’t wait to see your reactions to these features once they launch on December 3. Unlock your potential To make you feel at home on Tertium, we included a huge amount of options in the character creator so that you can fine-tune the appearance of your Reject in the game including their class, looks, background history, and voice. We want to empower players to become part of this world, and its conflict, in more personal ways. Each class has its own complex talent tree, allowing you to further customize your play style among three main domains ( or sub-classes ) and anything in between. We also expanded freedom of choice with our Itemization overhaul, which allows you to gain experience within each of the 40+ weapon families you want to become proficient in. An ever-evolving game December 3 is both the launch of the game on PlayStation and sees the release of our 10th major update: Grim Protocols which brings a slew of new content. Here is a glimpse at what we have in store! We will be introducing a new endgame mode called Havoc where the most seasoned operatives test their mettle. Be ready to face daunting challenges! But first, you have to master Tertium. A new mission will enter our 20+ mission roster, challenging Rejects to explore the Carnival, a notorious area for entertainment, the sort of place you go for a little relaxation and lots of illicit diversions. Three new weapon families will be added, allowing you to tear through waves of enemies with the destructive might of the Two-Handed Force and Power Swords, and the Ogryn Heavy Stubber. Keep an eye out for our official PS5 news to keep up to date with all the content coming in 2025. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide officially launches onto PS5 on December 3. Welcome to Tertium, Rejects, we hope you survive the challenges ahead. For the Emperor!
