Originally released for PC in 2022 (and Xbox Series X|S in 2023), Warhammer 40,000: Darktide could be making its way to PS5 in the relatively near future. As spotted by Gematsu, the title has been rated for Sony's system in Taiwan — which is often a sign that things are in motion.
Darktide is from Fatshark, the same developer that brought us the largely fantastic Warhammer: Vermintide 2 on PS4, and it follows the same kind of co-op-focused, mission-based structure. Unlike Vermintide, however, Darktide takes place in Warhammer's 40k universe — the same universe as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
Darktide has had some ups and downs since its initial launch. At first, the game was quite heavily criticised for a lack of content, with many players claiming that it was pretty much unfinished. Naturally, the title has received a load of updates since then, although it never seemed to completely recover from that early barrage of negativity. Still, its brutal first-person, action-shooter combat remains a highlight.
