With Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 continuing to succeed in its second week after launch, a new leak raises hopes for Darktide’s arrival on PS5, roughly a year after its launch on PC and later on Xbox.
Warhammer 40K: Darktide – The leak about its PS5 arrival
After the huge success of Vermintide 1 and 2, the first-person PvE co-op “shooters” set in the fantasy Warhammer universe, Fatshark wanted to bring that experience into the Warhammer 40K universe with Darktide. This game is set in the futuristic and much darker, grimmer Warhammer 40K universe, offering a more shooter-focused experience. It was released in November 2022 on PC, and a year later on Xbox, with the PS5 version still missing. A launch that had its share of issues, but the team has continued to support it, improving performance and delivering long-awaited new content.
The news comes from Gematsu, which noticed that Darktide has been rated in Taiwan with an entry for PS5. This news even suggests a PS5 launch in September, coinciding with the arrival of the new Warhammer 40.000: Darktide update called “Unlocked and Loaded”, set for release on 26th September. It’s also a news item that could further confirm the rumored State of Play in September, offering the PS5 an opportunity to pair the already popular Space Marine 2 with a first-person shooter experience in Darktide.
A PlayStation 5 version of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has been rated in Taiwan.
As mentioned, Darktide had a less-than-brilliant launch, but it remains a solid shooter that perfectly embodies the oppressive and grim Warhammer 40K universe, steadily gaining positive feedback from players. Warhammer 40.000 has seen a boom in dedicated games in recent years, from less successful titles like Necromunda: Hired Gun to more appreciated ones like Boltgun. And the success of the recent 2 record-breaking Space Marine is undeniable.
Space Marine 2, while offering a solid PvE experience, also capitalizes on the revival of PvE-style games, which are making a comeback. Helldivers 2 demonstrated this trend in 2024, and Space Marine 2 shares several aspects with it. Darktide, on the other hand, provides a more RPG-like experience where classes and weapons have a greater impact. Not to mention how the strategic aspect requires more active cooperation from players to complete missions, with varying roles for the 4 available classes. In short, we are witnessing a grand return for Warhammer 40.000, a universe certainly dense and fascinating, which has captured the hearts of many and was discussed in our Pixel Sundays: Warhammer 40K: The Hidden Secrets That Propelled This Franchise to the Top of Sci-Fi!
