Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a video game by Fatshark, the same production company which made the popular Vermintide series.[1]

Description

From the developers of the best-selling and award-winning franchise Vermintide, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city of Tertium. Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40,000 experience.[1]

Plot

The plot concerns agents of the Inquisition investigating potential Chaos influence on the world of Atoma Prime in the Hive City of Tertium. The plot will continue to evolve overtime as the meta of the game develops.[2]

In regard to overall narrative design, the game's principal writer for world building and narrative is Dan Abnett. Several other Black Library authors have worked on Darktide, including Matthew Ward as lead writer, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Jeremy Vetock, John French, Jude Reid, Mark Latham, Sarah Cawkwell, and Victoria Hayward. The visual foundations of Darktide were brought to life by Miguel Iglesias (character concept art) and Joakim Ericsson (environment concept art).[4]
