Press release:
Stockholm, Sweden – April 16 2024.
The Stockholm-based (Sweden) indie games developer Fatshark are are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the “Path of Redemption” update for “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide” (the said update is available right now for PC via Steam and Xbox via the MS store).

This free update introduces a new reward system and reinvents penances in the game. The update will also add a new enemy and a condition alongside a new feature, the Personality Scourge.

This update will introduce a new version of the penance system, but it’ll also come with additional supporting content. Here is a list of what is coming to you in April:

A new free way to collect rewards: penance points will now count towards a progression track composed of 40+ tiers, allowing players to unlock earnable rewards.

A new home for penances in the Mourningstar: Hestia will be in charge of keeping a record of the rejects’ penances and will join the rest of the Mourningstar crew in voice-overs during missions.

200+ new penances: a slew of new penances will be added to the game for players to complete. These will be divided into new categories.

100+ new earnable rewards: these will include new insignias, portrait frames, emotes, poses, weapon trinkets, and cosmetics such as the loyalist Moebian 6th outfits.

New reward type – titles: allowing players to brag about their most impressive achievements.

Improved penance UI and menu: allowing players to better track penances and progress toward rewards.

New puzzles, challenges, and collectibles: we are adding several puzzles across Tertium Hive for players to discover and solve.

New enemy: the Dreg Tox Bomber will join the ranks of the heretics, hurling Blight Grenades filled with toxic fumes.

New condition: Pox Gas will join the roster of conditions that can spread across Tertium. Recommendation: don’t breathe too deeply.

The Personality Scourge: players will have the option to change additional aspects of your operative (background, height, name, and voice) in exchange for ordo dockets.
