Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the upcoming first-person shooter, based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe for the Xbox Series X|S, and PC, is getting a technical test this week.
Starting August 12th, 2022, at 9 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET, Fatshark will host a Warhammer 40,000 Darktide and is taking sign-ups. This technical test aims to see just how well the infrastructure that will run the game will handle the load. We’ve all seen games that have launched but didn’t have the technical chops needed to keep the game running or even allow players to sign in.
The first Closed Technical Test is happening August 12th! So look alive Rejects, and sign up for a chance to play!

Players will be able to customize their class, appearance, gender, and from four classes consisting of a Veteran, Zealot, Ogryn, and Psyker.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide has a release date of November 30th, 2022, for the Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
