Fat Shark just revealed a gameplay trailer for the 40k version of the smash hit Vermintide video game- don’t miss the latest on Darktide!
Coming from Fatshark on YouTube, there’s a gameplay trailer revealing what the game plays like. If you player Vermintide, this is much of the same, of course with it set in 40k and the grimdark! Sci-fi is much different than fantasy, but it looks to be similar gameplay-wise.
Fat Shark Reveals New 40k Darktide Gameplay Trailer
If you played Vermintide you know that there were 5 unique characters each with very distinct playstyles and personalities. With these first four we see, it looks like it may be more of the same in that aspect!
The main targets appear to be some pox walkers, minor daemons, and cultists/traitor guard. The past games had tons of support and added entire factions worth of enemies through updates and DLC so don’t be surprised if the list grows exponentially.
With the jump to 40k, you’ll get the iconic Lasguns, but also more shooting all around and that means the potential for explosions and grenades too!
Of course, that doesn’t mean there won’t be melee, there will come a time when you run out of ammo against the hordes and have to switch to melee. Vermintide has visceral melee and it was amazing, this game will be no different, just now you have Thunder Hammers and Chainswords!

If you didn’t watch the trailer I highly recommend you do and you can check out our previous coverage of when Darktide was first revealed here.
The new gameplay trailer has just enough to give us a taste, but it’s not coming out until sometime in 2021 so we’ve got a little while to wait. If you play console it looks like it will be an Xbox timed exclusive, so you may have to wait longer for it to drop on Playstation.
What do you think about a co-op 40k shooter? Do you like the dark, outnumbered vibe this game has?
