Warhammer 40K: Darktide Finally Adds Sisters of Battle

It’s official! Fatshark is adding yet another class to Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and this time, it’s another long-requested addition from the community. The Sisters of Battle are finally making their way to Atoma, although they’re not sending their fully fledged warriors. Instead, the Adepta Sororitas are sending their trainees, better known as the Sisters Novitiate, to prove their worth, test their faith, and bring the Emperor’s justice to the Rejects.

Adepta Sororitas Send Aid

The Adepta Sororitas have been one of the community’s biggest class requests for quite some time, making this one of the last major additions fans have been hoping Fatshark would implement. Initial guesses following the teaser trailer a few days ago pointed toward Repentia Squads, which would have made sense given the relatively limited power level of Darktide’s playable characters. However, it turns out we’re getting recruits instead.

The Sisters Novitiate still fit nicely into Darktide’s roster, bringing the Adepta Sororitas into the fight without introducing their more powerful, fully trained warriors. And judging by the new trailer, these recruits aren’t exactly arriving empty-handed.

We’ve already got a glimpse of some of the tools they’ll be bringing to Atoma, including a handheld crossbow, a flamer, and even a power whip. From the Deluxe Edition, we can also see they are bringing their own shield, Cherub backpack, and possibly a different variation of a two-handed mace or eviscerator.

The Sisters Novitiate will officially arrive in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on December 7, giving players another reason to jump back into the fight for Atoma.
