The Dawn of War 4 team isn’t worried about Total War: Warhammer 40k: ‘This is definitely a case of holy s***, it’s two cakes’

Warhammer 40k Darktide is getting another new class, and I’m loading my toaster with hopium all over again

The developer Fatshark has confirmed the development of a new playable character for Warhammer 40k Darktide, with expectations rising for a Mechanicus character. This announcement was part of a comprehensive update that included 11 events, four major updates, and two DLC classes, although none featured the Mechanicus. The next class has been in development for some time, and while details are forthcoming, another release will occur before this new character is introduced. Fans hope for a character that fits within the game's aesthetic and lore, such as a low-level Enginseer, as the need for a technical character is evident.

“Out of all the 40k options, they picked this?”: Fans are furious about the reveal of Darktide’s new class—and they might have a point this time

The new class revealed for Darktide is 'Hive Scum,' a character archetype centered around a common criminal. The announcement was met with disappointment from the community, with many fans expressing disbelief and frustration over the choice, feeling it lacked the excitement of more unique options available in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Hive Scum's arsenal includes makeshift weapons like guns, shivs, and crowbars, which fans find underwhelming compared to the iconic weaponry in the setting. The decision to introduce this class may stem from practical limitations faced by the developer, Fatshark, as they may not have the resources to create entirely new character types in a short timeframe. The ongoing disconnect between community expectations and the developer's offerings has led to tension among players.

Warhammer 40k Darktide is getting another new class, and I swear to god if it’s not a toaster…

The Adeptus Mechanicus is generating significant anticipation in the Warhammer 40k community, particularly with the recent demo of Mechanicus 2 highlighting the Necrons. In Warhammer 40k Darktide, players are speculating about the introduction of a new class, potentially related to the Mechanicus, due to the absence of a technological aspect in the current character roster. Rumors suggest the unveiling of radium weapons that may have evolved into the new plasma-wielding Scab. The class reveal is set for November 11, followed by a free update on December 2 that will introduce a new trench-based Operation mission. Discussions among fans are encouraged, with a focus on the new class and avoiding topics related to Orks.
