Summary
A couple of years ago,Warhammer: Vermintide 2developer Fatshark launched40,000: Darktide, a co-operative first-person shooter set in the city of Tertium. However, it only released on PC and Xbox Series S/X, leaving PlayStation fans in the lurk waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
No port has been revealed yet, but the game was just rated for PS5 in Taiwan. We don’t know when exactly, but it’sfinallycoming to PlayStation. Typically, ratings point to an imminent announcement, so we should find our more soon enough.
Warhammer Is Thriving Right Now
News of a PS5 Darktide port couldn’t come at a better time. Saber Interactive just released the immensley popularSpace Marine 2. In less than a month, it has skyrocketed intothe top ten most-played Steam games this year, making itthemost played Warhammer gameof all-time.
Darktide is also high up on that list, holding the number four spot. Although, it hasn’t been without its controversy.
The game has an overall score of ‘Mixed’ on Steam, with many describing it as a “regression” from Vermintide 2, upset at the lack of new missions which have made the game feel “repetitive” and the controversial monetisation. It has also been mired in bugs and crashes since its release, although reviews have begun to improve recently as these have been ironed out — the recent score now sits at a more respectable ‘Mostly Positive’.
Aside from a litany of improvements that have raised player morale, Darktide also has cross-platform play, so releasing for PS5 will only breathe new life into the game acrossallplatforms. In the wake of Space Marine 2’s continuing success, even moreso.
