The contagion of Nurgle has returned in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Darktide is one of several upcoming Warhammer video games featured at Games Workshop’s Warhammer Skulls: Festival of Video Games and is now available for preorder. The Skulls festival comes barely a month after the PC release of Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters featuring Andy Serkis as Space Marines Grand Master Vardan Kai.

If a Warhammer-themed, first-person co-op game sounds familiar, that’s because FatShark of Warhammer: Vermintide fame is developing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
