Another Grimdark, Warhammer 40,000 Co-Op Shooter Announced for PS5

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is officially coming to PS5, initially launching on PC and Xbox in 2022. Faithful servants of the Emperor of Mankind can serve Him by battling Nurgle's endless, rotting hordes in intense four-player cooperative gameplay from 3rd December. A co-op survival shooter in the vein of the Left 4 Dead franchise, the zombies here are the rotting, pustulent servants of the Plague God.

In addition, Grandfather Nurgle's mortal forces are bolstered by all manner of disgusting Warp abominations, like Plaguebearers and the inevitable Great Unclean Ones. Embarking on a fresh crusade, it appears the 40K universe is alive and well on PS5. Space Marine 2 is to be largely credited for this new Golden Age; in addition to being a great game, it appears to have opened the eyes of those (heretics) yet to see the Emperor's light.



We'll take every opportunity to sing the praises of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader , a turn-based CRPG that is excellent on the lore/narrative front and just got a worthy expansion in Void Shadows, and Darktide is another welcome addition. What do you think of Darktide? Does it look like your cup of tea? Let us know in the comments section below..
