Whereas it is had a number of hotfixes already this yr, Darktide will probably be getting its first important 2024 replace in late April. As developer Fatshark explains on its weblog, this replace—known as the Path of Redemption—features a reinvented penance system. Beforehand, penances have been achievements that sometimes rewarded gamers with a beauty. Underneath the revised system, the factors earned for finishing them will progress you alongside a monitor of beauty rewards together with, “frames, insignias, trinkets, emotes, finish of spherical poses, character cosmetics, and weapon skins” in addition to backpacks, titles, and cosmetics based mostly on the outfits worn by the characters in Darktide’s trailers and artwork.
So as to add some much-needed selection to missions, they’re having new “puzzles, challenges, and collectibles” added to them, although the weblog publish would not go into specifics on these. It does point out one new enemy, a Dreg Tox Bomber who throws blight grenades, and a brand new situation known as “Pox Gasoline”.
The Path to Redemption replace can even add an choice to revise your character’s title, voice, background, and peak by paying ordo dockets. It is known as the Character Scourge, which sounds enjoyable and painless.
Fatshark emphasised earlier within the yr that “this isn’t our full plan for 2024. We will probably be including new components to Darktide all year long as nicely together with (however not restricted to) new missions, new enemies, new weapons, new circumstances, and new options alongside stability updates, high quality of life additions, together with another surprises which we are going to share in due time.” Hopefully these of us ready for a continuation of the story, in addition to extra map and mission selection, can have one thing to sit up for as nicely.
