Troubled Warhammer 40K: Darktide Is Getting A Major RPG Overhaul [Update: And Coming To Xbox In October]

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was one of my most anticipated games of 2022. I couldn’t wait to play Fatshark’s first-person shooter evolution of the rat-infested melee frenzy that was Vermintide 2. Unfortunately, it had its fair share of issues at launch, from performance frustrations on PC to...
