Fatshark has dropped a massive new teaser trailer for an upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Darktide update arriving later this month. The new trailer gives players their first real look at what awaits them beneath the hive city, teasing a brand-new enemy, new weapons, and plenty more for Rejects to discover.

Depths of the Damned

The brand-new Depths of the Damned trailer follows the recently recruited members of the Hive Scum gangs as they venture into a new lower level of Tertium through the Spillway.

Rather than simply throwing another standard enemy type at players, Fatshark is introducing a brand-new boss: The Prophet of Decay. This mysterious Psyker has made the depths of the Torrent its domain, and players will likely encounter the powerful Chaos spawn while fighting through the new Spillway map in the Depths zone.

Thankfully, the Rejects won’t be heading into the depths empty-handed. The update is also bringing a new collection of weapons, including several new weapon Marks and additions to existing weapon families.

These include:

  • Ogryn Cruncher
  • Huntsman’s Shotgun
  • Ogryn Thugshot
  • Crusher Krourk MK VII
  • Double-Barrelled Shotgun Krourk Mk IV
  • Gromm Mk I Battle Maul
  • Mk V Slab Shield

Little is currently known about the Prophet of Decay, but there is one grim certainty. But this powerful Psyker claims the depths of the Torrent as its domain, and the Rejects need to cull this threat.
