Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Launches December 3rd for PS5

The Standard Edition retails for $39.99, but Imperial Edition owners get six days of advanced access for $59.99, alongside other goodies.

Fatshark’s Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is coming to PS5. It will be available on December 3rd for $39.99, though you can purchase the Imperial Edition for $59.99 to start playing on November 27th (while also getting four outfits, 2500 Aquilas, and eight weapon skin patterns).

First launched for PC in 2022 before coming to Xbox Series X/S in 2023, Darktide occurs on the Chaos-occupied Tertium. Given the importance of the Hive City and the shortage of troops, the Inquisition drafts death row prisoners to their ranks. There are four classes to choose from – Veteran, Psyker, Zealot, and Ogryn – each with unique abilities and loot to earn.

Despite criticism at launch for its various bugs, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has improved vastly over the years, reworking loot, overhauling crafting, implementing a party finder, and more. Fatshark is also preparing a brand new system, Havoc, for finer-tuned difficulty increases (including new mutators).
