Devoted Rejects,  

Here are the patch notes for our latest update, Secrets of the Machine God, which just went live on Steam and it will shortly be available on our other platforms.

NOTE: Because the patch notes are so long, we are posting in two parts.
New Mission: Clandestium Gloriana
The new mission, Clandestium Gloriana (previously mentioned as Atelium Foundryplex Omega V), sees our brave strike teams venture deep into the forgotten heart of Tertium for a rendezvous with a mysterious new character. The players are tasked with reawakening a long-dormant Adeptus Mechanicus ... Read more

Hello, everyone!

We’re excited to talk about the newest mission coming to Darktide: Clandestium Gloriana (AKA Atelium Foundryplex Omega V). For this, we interviewed Lead Level Designer, Fredric Grapensparr and Narrative Lead, Michael Knight, both of whom were part of the team responsible for crafting this new zone for players.

When reviewing feedback from the players around the last mission we designed (The Carnival), we saw the strong response from players regarding the lore and narrative woven into the level. This is something we enjoy doing more of, and that was a key starting point for the design of Clandestium Gloriana.



Setting the Scene

From a narrative perspective, our goal was to create a temple-like facility in the Void between zones. We landed on the idea of lost facilities p... Read more

The release of Secrets of the Machine God is just around the corner, and while we are excited to have you get your hands on it, we also suspect many of you might be expecting itemization to be part of this update. Unfortunately, this will not be the case.

After internal and external testing, we’ve decided the itemization rework isn’t where we want it to be for release this month. We’ve been reading your threads and taking the feedback on. The consensus being this rework should not be rushed. And we agree.

Now, itemization is slated to release after summer. We are making progress. During this time, we’re also looking at expanding the feedback loop on this rework, and will be including more players outside our core-testers.

To get more details, we are working on a dev blog on itemization to give you more insights into the work we’ve carried out so far.

We look forward to sharing more information about itemization and will... Read more

Nothing raises morale better than firm decisive action, followed by a well-rewarded victory. In honour of the celebration of Severance Day, where Saint Messelina beheaded the corrupt rulers of one of Branx's moons, Hestia has called for a Decollation Crusade.

Like the beatific Messelina Gloriana, we shall smite our enemies this day. Their decapitation shall redeem their souls and serve as tribute to our great Saint.

Devoted Rejects,
Hotfix #38 (1.3.3) is now live on Steam. It will shortly be live on our other platforms, too.

• Resolved stutter and performance issues caused as a result of the Shader Cache not building correctly upon the launch of the game.

Dev Note: Essentially, the engine wasn’t able to compile the shaders in advance for players due to an invalid cache, so it caused stuttering as the cache rebuilt itself in-game.

• Fixed an issue where the audio would suddenly cut out for brief amounts of time.
• Ius Mk III Shredder Autopistol accidentally had the wrong set of animations playing in first-person for some actions. It has now been changed to play the correct original animations again.
