Warhammer 40K Darktide seasonal content and Xbox release indefinite delay

This also means that we will delay our seasonal content rollout and the Xbox Series X/S launch. We will also suspend the upcoming releases of premium cosmetics.

The rest of the open letter thanked the Warhammer 40K: Darktide player base for their feedback and support of the game. Players of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide criticized the game's wonky upgrade and crafting mechanics, as well as the unsatisfying rewards system.

So how long will the delays be? Unfortunately, Fatshark did not give a clear answer. Thus, for the interim, players of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will be looking at an indefinite delay of the aforementioned content and rollout for the Xbox consoles.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that Warhammer 40K: Darktide has suffered delays. After it was announced in 2020, the original release date was to be sometime in 2021. However, this was pushed back to a tentative spring 2022 release. But even this was pushed further to September 2022, before the final actual release in November.

With that said, the Darktide player base are generally willing to accept the delays, mainly due to the many issues plaguing the game.

As of the time of this writing, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has received over 53 thousand Mixed reviews (with the most recent being Mostly Negative) on its Steam page. Although hailed for its impressive graphics, immersive audio and music, and well-balanced combat, Warhammer 40K: Darktide is also criticized for its ridiculously low chance of upgrading and incomplete crafting mechanics. The rewards system has also received criticisms for being largely unsatisfying.

Based on the popular Warhammer 40K setting from Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is currently available for play on Windows PC.
