Writer Reveal - Dan Abnett

/

Today we revealed that Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is being written in cooperation with renowned Black Library author Dan Abnett. Abnett is well known in the Warhammer universe for his bestselling Warhammer 40,000 novels and we couldn’t be more excited about the collaboration and what it means for the game.

Darktide promises to focus on the humanity within the Warhammer 40,000 world and there’s no better author to help us realise that vision, with many of Dan’s works - from his Eisenhorn books and the Gaunt’s Ghost series - being the inspiration behind our approach.

We sat down with Dan to probe a little more into who he is, what he does, and what it means for the set-up for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Our Q&A can be found below, and if you don’t want to miss out on future announcements and postings from the team, be sure to wishlist the game over on the Steam Store!

About Chaos Wastes


Chaos Wastes is a free update

for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Explore the unpredictable and dramatic lands of Chaos Wastes in this all-new 1-4 player co-op rogue-lite experience, expanding the Vermintide story in a new game mode.

A High Stakes Adventure
Explore the Chaos Wastes together with your fellow heroes in this new rogue-lite inspired game mode. Build your team from the ground up, decide your tactics together and prepare for the unexpected. The farther your team progresses, the greater the reward, but beware: failure to reach the expedition’s end may rob you of the fruits of your labor.

Discover 15 New Locations
Head out on expeditions and explore 15 new unique locations. The journey will take you through a diverse landscape with icy expanses, mountain ranges, and treacherous valleys, all under the control of ruinous powers. Your mission is to locate the rumored Citadel of Eternity in the search for salvation - at any cost.

Adapt and Overcome New Challenges
No two expeditions are the same. Thus, the choices you make are more important than ever and can tip the scales, from life to death. Choose carefully as you equip new weapons, boons, miracles, and more as you progress through the expeditions.

Survive Against Ruinous Powers
Throughout your journey, you may encounter areas that are cursed. When you enter a cursed area, the landscape itself is influenced by its current ruler which dramatically changes the way you need to play. So, prepare for an extra challenge as a cursed area also brings a more sinister threat.
