10 Reasons To Get Excited About Warhammer 40K: Darktide

10. Multiplayer

In games like Vermintide, teamwork really does make the dream work, and although bots have come far in recent years they're still nowhere near as good as real players, therefore communication and coordination are essential to surpassing the harder levels and the overwhelming chaos of combat.

In short online sessions of Vermintide 1 and 2 are the franchise operating on full steam and we can expect the same love and attention to this core experience in Darktide. Fatshark has been teasing a Multiplayer VS mode in Vermintide 2 as well, with players able to take up the flea-ridden mantle of the Skaven hunters, and it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine the same feature being offered in this title as well.

Imagine the screams of your friends as you bludgeon them into the ground as a hulking rotted beast, now double that fun thought when you realize that most Nurgle characters have ridiculously stupid names (Sloppity Bilepiper being a firm fav).
