Two years since its launch on PC, Fatshark has announced that <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/">Warhammer 40,000: Darktide</a> will finally release on PlayStation 5 consoles on December 3, 2024. 

This much-awaited release will bring all enhancements and updates made since the initial PC version, putting its visual scale similar to Saber Interactive’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2/">Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2</a>.

Darktide is also optimized for PlayStation 5 Pro at 60 FPS frame rate at 4K resolution. Also included in this console port are two gameplay modes available for players: a 60 FPS Performance mode at 1440p resolution and a 30 FPS Quality Mode at 4K resolution.

Players who opt for the Imperial Edition can access the game six days early, beginning November 27. The Standard Edition will be available through the PlayStation Store for $39.99/€39.99. PlayStation Plus subscribers will enjoy discounts of 10% on the Standard Edition and 15% on the Imperial Edition.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide released on PC back in 2022 and on Xbox Game Pass a year later. It takes place in the grimdark <a href="https://whatoplay.com/discover/?search%5Bquery%5D=Warhammer%2040%2C000">universe of Warhammer 40,000 </a>by Games Workshop. 

Instead of assuming control of the powerful Space Marines, Darktide puts players into the shoes of the universe’s other classes, namely the Veteran, Psyker, Zealot and Ogryn. It immerses players in the brutal task of reclaiming Tertium, a city overrun by relentless Chaos hordes. 

Similar to Fatshark’s previous entry, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-end-times-vermintide/">Vermintide</a>, it emphasizes cooperative gameplay in its sprawling PvE modes. Darktide demands teamwork, so players wandering from teammates leaves them vulnerable to powerful foes. Only by staying close can players recharge their strength and face the danger together. 

Combat builds upon the melee-focused mechanics of Vermintide 2, further enhancing 40K’s signature gunplay experience. Players must master between melee and ranged combat, wielding iconic weapons such as the chainsword and Lasgun to fend off enemies. 

The game received a playscore of 7.0 on PC from over sixty thousand players and 54 critics. Not a lot of fans were happy with its balancing and pacing. However, over the years Fatshark has improved the game with a variety of quality of life improvements and new gameplay changes. With the imminent PlayStation 5 release next month, Darktide will be at its most ideal version yet.
