Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Will Soon Be Available to Xbox Owners
At midnight CEST (3:00 PM PDT on Oct. 3), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, a co-op FPS game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, will be released on Xbox Series X|S by independent developer Fatshark. The game will be accompanied by Patch #13 – Class Overhaul, which is a significant update that completely reinvents the class and feat systems. The update introduces talent trees and a plethora of new abilities, which will be included in the Series X|S versions from the start.
The Class Overhaul patch grants each archetype (Veteran, Zealot, Psyker, Ogryn) emerging trees, providing clear and easily identifiable options, portrayed by a branching end of the trees all the while giving a tinkering space where less obvious combinations of choices create their own build packages. The different nodes available within each talent tree are of the following different types: Blitz ability, Combat ability, Keystone, Talent, Aura, and Stat node.Juan Martinez, Executive Producer on Darktide, expressed his gratitude to the community for their patience and excitement to get the update into their hands, hear their feedback, and continue to grow the Darktide community.

Assemble your squad and prepare to battle against menacing hordes, unraveling the dark secrets that lurk in Tertium’s shadows.Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is available on Steam, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X | S.
