Fight together with your friends against hordes of enemies in this new Warhammer 40k experience. From the developers of the best-selling and award-winning co-op action franchise Vermintide, Warhammer 40k Darktide is a visceral 4-player co-op action game set in the hive city Tertium.
In the depths of the hive, the seeds of corruption threaten an overwhelming tide of darkness.

It is up to you and your allies in the Inquisition to root out the enemy before the city succumbs to Chaos.
