Day One Xbox Game Pass Title Darktide Gets New Gamescom Trailer
Announced in July 2020, upcoming co-op horde shooter Warhammer 40:000: Darktide takes the traditional formula of developer Fatshark's previous successes in the Vermintide games and trades the fantasy setting for the grim dark far future of Warhammer 40:000. Initially set for a release date in 2021, Darktide has since seen numerous delays. It was expected that the game could release next month, but that date was canceled by Fatshark in the latest Darktide delay.
