Press release:
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, October 14, 2022.
Today independent developer Fatshark started a three-day beta where the players will get their hands on the award-winning 4-player co-op game “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide” via Steam, Windows PC and Geforce Now.

Closed Beta is Open
Fatshark will run the first large-scale beta test during the weekend, and although it’s a closed beta, you can still sign up at Steam. We will let more players in throughout the weekend, and it might just be you that gets to visit the Hive City.

If you haven’t got a key, some of your favorite streamers will play Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and might even have keys as giveaways during the weekend.
