In a much-anticipated reveal, Fatshark has announced the introduction of a new Skitarii class for their popular title, Darktide. This announcement, made during the Warhammer Skulls 2026 showcase, has ignited excitement among fans, particularly those who have been yearning for a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus since the previous class reveal.
Class Reveal Sparks Enthusiasm
The previous class, Hive Scum, while initially met with mixed feelings, has gradually won over many players with its dynamic gameplay featuring flashy knives and agile gunslinging. However, the longing for a Skitarii presence has lingered among a dedicated segment of the community. With the Skitarii class set to launch on June 23, players are eager to explore the new mechanics and strategies that this addition promises.
As the announcement highlights, the Skitarii class will be available on Steam, coinciding with the launch of Mechanicus 2, creating a perfect storm for fans of the Adeptus Mechanicus. This dual release is sure to satisfy those who have been craving more content centered around the iconic mechanical warriors clad in red.
While the excitement is palpable, it’s worth noting the bittersweet sentiment among fans of other factions, such as the Sisters of Battle, who may feel overlooked in this latest update. Nevertheless, the introduction of the Skitarii class marks a significant step forward for Darktide, promising to enrich the gameplay experience and expand the universe further.
