Fatshark announced that a new playable character for Warhammer 40K Darktide is in development and expected in 2026. This follows the mixed reception of last year's Hive Scum.
Upcoming Releases and Updates
Fatshark reflected on 2025 updates, which saw 11 events, four major updates, and two new DLC classes. Additions included the Scab Plasma Gunner and Power Falchion, alongside various balance tweaks.
- 2025: 11 events and four major updates added.
- Scab Plasma Gunner and Power Falchion released this year.
- Next class in development; details to come in 2026.
Community Expectations and Timeline
Fans anticipate an Adeptus Mechanicus representation: a low-level Enginseer could be a potential fit. However, Fatshark indicated a prior release before this character DLC arrives. The community must "wait a bit" as the studio plans to unveil more when ready.
Fatshark remains committed to expanding Darktide, promising exciting developments for players.
