The developer behind new title in the Warhammer 40K franchise, with the studio intent on bringing the best possible experience to fans of the popular franchise.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is an FPS action game set in the Warhammer universe. The game is being developed by Swedish studio Fatshark on PC and Darktide gameplay trailer was released back in December 2020, not much else of the game has been seen
Dan Abnett’s involvement with Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has now been revealed by Fatshark, an exciting prospect for fans due to his many best-selling Warhammer novels. With Darktide being set in the extended Warhammer 4K universe, Abnett is an important resource for Fatshark to pull from in building the game. Darktide having Abnett on the writing team means the game will probably be chock full of Warhammer lore and history, and Fatshark emphasizes his impact on the game's story and characters will be substantial. Abnett share that his favorite part of the Warhammer series is how dark the universe is, which means that Darktide will almost definitely be as dark as the Vermintide games, if not darker.
Abnett has also worked on a number of Justice League, and Aquaman. In of working on video games, he has also written for Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Alien: Isolation.
With the star power and talent of Dan Abnett onboard, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide likely just shot up much higher on dedicated series fans' gaming wishlists. How deeply his impact on the game's story will run will become clearer as the title nears its coming release.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will be available for Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2021.
