The developers cite needing to implement additional polish, with some improved performance and stability, as the reasons for the delay. The developers are also looking for additional feedback, and players can sign up to be selected for technical tests that will be coming in the near future.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is set on the Hive Tertium on the planet Atoma Prime, where a cult has spread Chaos corruption, leaving the defense of the city in the hands of a few survivors. Like in the Vermintide games (which are set in The End Times of Warhammer Fantasy), players can go it alone or play together with up to three friends.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a timed Xbox console exclusive, and is also launching day one into Xbox Game Pass.
