The hive city of Tertium stirs with fresh dangers and opportunities as Warhammer 40,000: Darktide prepares to celebrate its second anniversary. This December, Fatshark unveils Grim Protocols, an update that brings a wealth of content to the game’s relentless battles, while also marking its long-awaited arrival on PlayStation 5.
A Sinister New Mission and Deadlier Weapons Await
In Grim Protocols, players are called back to the shadowy Carnival region of Hive Tertium, where cultists conspire to manifest the will of their dark gods. Only a determined team of operatives can halt this heretical communion. With eerie environments and enemies lurking at every turn, the mission promises both tension and brutal combat.
To face these threats, operatives gain access to three powerful new weapon families. Swing the mighty Two-Handed Power Sword to carve through the hordes, channel psychic energy into the deadly Force Sword, or unleash the raw firepower of the Ogryn Heavy Stubber to turn corrupted enemies into so much rubble. These tools of destruction promise to elevate your arsenal to new, brutal heights.
Havoc Mode: A New Frontier for the Brave
For veteran players seeking the ultimate challenge, Grim Protocols introduces Havoc Mode, a punishing endgame experience that pushes even the most skilled teams to their limits. Surviving its trials requires razor-sharp coordination and mastery of every tool at your disposal. Triumph, however, comes with rewards befitting the effort—exclusive cosmetic upgrades that let you wear your victories with pride.
As the update expands the Penance progression system, all players will also find new accolades to earn, unlocking fresh rewards that reflect their dedication to the fight against corruption.
A Celebration Two Years in the Making
The two-year anniversary wouldn’t be complete without something special for the community. A unique weapon trinket will be available during the celebration event, a token of gratitude for players who have battled through Hive Tertium’s horrors.
Darktide Arrives on PlayStation 5
As Grim Protocols launches on December 3rd, Darktide will also make its highly anticipated debut on PlayStation 5. This version arrives fully equipped with all the updates and improvements made to the PC and Xbox releases, while offering new enhancements tailored for Sony’s console.
Players can expect a stunning 4K resolution at 60 FPS on PlayStation 5 Pro, along with DualSense Haptic Feedback for a more immersive experience. Those who pre-order the Imperial Edition gain an extra advantage—six days of early access, allowing them to step into the fray before the official release.
A New Dawn for Darktide
Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a fresh recruit, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide continues to evolve, offering thrilling new ways to test your mettle against the horrors of the 41st Millennium. With Grim Protocols on the horizon and a new frontier opening on PlayStation 5, December 3rd marks the dawn of another chapter in the struggle for Hive Tertium. The darkness is rising—will you answer the call?
