Fatshark are excited to announce that they will be releasing the Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Path of Redemption update on April 16th, 2024. This free update introduces a new reward system and reinvents penances in the game. The update will also add a new enemy and a condition alongside a new feature, the Personality Scourge.
This update will introduce a new version of the penance system, but it’ll also come with additional supporting content. Here is a list of what is coming to you in April:
- A new free way to collect rewards: penance points will now count towards a progression track composed of 40+ tiers, allowing players to unlock earnable rewards.
- A new home for penances in the Mourningstar: Hestia will be in charge of keeping a record of the rejects’ penances and will join the rest of the Mourningstar crew in voice-overs during missions.
- 200+ new penances: a slew of new penances will be added to the game for players to complete. These will be divided into new categories.
- 100+ new earnable rewards: these will include new insignias, portrait frames, emotes, poses, weapon trinkets, and cosmetics such as the loyalist Moebian 6th outfits.
- New reward type – titles: allowing players to brag about their most impressive achievements.
- Improved penance UI and menu: allowing players to better track penances and progress toward rewards.
- New puzzles, challenges, and collectibles: we are adding several puzzles across Tertium Hive for players to discover and solve.
- New enemy: the Dreg Tox Bomber will join the ranks of the heretics, hurling Blight Grenades filled with toxic fumes.
- New condition: Pox Gas will join the roster of conditions that can spread across Tertium. Recommendation: don’t breathe too deeply.
The Personality Scourge: players will have the option to change additional aspects of your operative (background, height, name, and voice) in exchange for ordo dockets.
