Fatshark’s upcoming co-op shooter Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was originally supposed to launch exclusively on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC in 2021. Fatshark announced on Thursday that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is delayed until Spring 2022, citing the need for more time as the lingering effects of the pandemic impacted development. The team of over 150 developers is also working to further polish the game’s overall quality in time for launch.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide builds on the combat and co-op gameplay systems in Fatshark’s previous Warhammer game, Vermintide 2. Darktide eschews the fantasy End Times settings for the Gothic science-fiction of the 40K universe, with esteemed author Dan Abnett writing for the game. Whenever Warhammer 40,000 Darktide does launch, it’ll also be included in Xbox Game Pass.
Fantasy Warhammer isn’t being left out this year however, with Creative Assembly’s Total War: Warhammer 3 currently slated to launch in late 2021.

Review: XPS 13 (9310) with OLED is a gorgeous combo with one big tradeoff
The XPS 13 (9310) is arguably the best 13-inch Windows Ultrabook on the market. For 2021, the company is giving the tiny but powerful laptop an update offering a few new options. We spent time with the faster Core i7-1185G7 processor (up from the i7-1165G7) as well as the new UHD+ OLED display to see if it’s worth it.
