'I don't think players expect this': Warhammer 40K: Darktide is adding RPG-style skill trees full of new abilities to its 4 classes

Darktide's developers have spent the last 10 months working on a complete overhaul of its disappointing class system.

    “Development of this skill tree actually started before Darktide launched, but some classes were further along than others. The system just wasn’t ready last year.”

    Sad that it’s another “launch the game now and finish it later” situation. Hope these are fun.

      Yes, it’s the current thrend in software development, ship the minimal viable product and then react according to the customer complains.

      Yeah, I enjoy the gameplay and atmosphere a lot but it’s obvious this game was rushed out in a bad state.

      They wasted a lot of goodwill with the initial release, I hope with changes like this they do good with the players and then they’ll have a chance to bring in new ones.

      They messed up initially with Vermintide 2 and then caught up and did the same thing again with Darktide.

        They’re a strange developer are Fatshark, clearly very talented creatively, but their business side needs improvement.

        Poor choices but with MTX and their project management is dire
