What this game is
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a grim cooperative shooter from the Swedish studio Fatshark, the creators of the Vermintide series. The action takes place in the giant hive city of Tertium, a vast industrial metropolis of the Imperium, choking on heresy and disease. You are an agent of the Inquisition, defying an army of fanatics of the Mebian 6th Regiment, infected by Nurgle's plague.
Choose from six classes: Veteran Sharpshooter with accurate long-range fire, Zealot Preacher, a frenzied melee fighter, Psyker Psykinetic, who wields warp energy, the powerful Ogryn Skullbreaker, the ruthless Arbites with a cyber-mastiff, and the cunning Hive Scum with dual weapons. Each mission is teamwork for up to four players against growing waves of enemies.
The game has improved considerably since its disputed launch in 2022: the progression system has been expanded, new modes and classes have been added, and free updates come out regularly. In June 2026 a new class, the Skitarii (Skitarii Alpha Primus, $11.99), and a free Expeditions update with a new zone and enemies are released. The Russian interface and subtitles are included in the base installation via Steam. Online co-op, a constant connection is required.
A cooperative shooter in the world of Warhammer 40,000: 4 players against hordes of Chaos in an infested hive city. Russian text, English voice-over only.
