Press release:
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, November 17, 2022.
Today Fatshark is excited to open the Pre-Order Beta for “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide” ahead of the full release on November 30th (2022).

Pre-Order and Join the Road to Full Release
Although life in the hive city of Tertium is grim, the sun shines on everyone who has pre-ordered Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

Starting now, players can choose from 4 missions across 4 zones. More missions will be added throughout the Pre-Order Beta period, while the team will also run in-game events (conditions) to challenge players in new and exciting ways. This ramp-up allows for fine-tuning and scaling heading into a full release while offering players regularly. The in-game store will be closed until the launch of the full game.

The plan is to carry over a player’s progression – although unforeseen issues may force us to revisit these ambitions.

“Running this Pre-Order Beta is our way to actively address common issues games experience at launch and also a ‘Thank You’ to our most committed fans,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark.

“We know it’s been a long wait, but Darktide is finally just around the corner”.

During the next two weeks, Fatshark will update players via social channels, forums, and the in-game launcher.

The Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Pre-Order is available in two versions.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide ($39,99)

The Atoman Star Weapon Trinket: A cosmetic weapon trinket awarded to those who answered in the hour of Atoma’s need.
Vanguard of the Imperium Portrait Frame: A cosmetic portrait frame reserved for those first to enter the fray and last to leave it.

The Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – Imperial Edition ($59,99)

Loyalist Pack: Purge heresy in style with these 4 unique class outfits, 8 weapon skin patterns, one headgear, and an Ogryn body tattoo.

The Atoman Star Weapon Trinket: A cosmetic weapon trinket awarded to those who answered in the hour of Atoma’s need.
