[2023] Open Letter to our players

To Our Players,

We take enormous pride in our ability at Fatshark to deliver a game that millions can enjoy. This was what we set out to do with Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – to create a highly engaging and stable game with a level of depth that keeps you playing for weeks, not hours.

We fell short of meeting those expectations.

Over the next few months, our sole focus is to address the feedback that many of you have. In particular, we will focus on delivering a complete crafting system, a more rewarding progression loop, and continue to work on game stability and performance optimization.

This also means that we will delay our seasonal content rollout and the Xbox Series X|S launch. We will also suspend the upcoming releases of premium cosmetics. We just couldn’t continue down this path, knowing that we have not addressed many feedback areas in the game today.

Thank you for playing and providing feedback. We really appreciate it. It has and will continue to help shape the game we love.

Martin Wahlund
CEO and Co-Founder of Fatshark

Hi,
AFAIK we only have hotfixes planned for this week but I will try and keep you all as updated as possible on that front!

Our internal roadmap is undergoing a lot of changes right now as we make sure the game is in a good spot before we start adding new elements to it. There might be an external roadmap going forward, but its not something we can commit to at this stage.

Yes, we are working on releasing some bugfixes this week that tackle various crashes and are working on being more consistent with rolling these out in the future

Of course, here we are trying to set the expectations of the community while explaining what our priorities are going forward.
We are working on being able to provide more details as soon as we can once we have the game in better shape!

We appreciate that everyone has an opinion (differing in some cases, and of varying degrees of strength) on the communication that went out last night, we’d ask that folks rein in the hostilities against each other and avoid the PvP. Thank you
