Det var tänkt att Warhammer 40,000: Darktide skulle släppas detta år, men nu meddelar svenska Fatshark att deras spel istället kommer släppas under våren 2022. Anledningen är att de helt enkelt behöver mer tid för att leverera spelet i ett så bra skick de vill ha det. Pandemin har givetvis spelat en roll i detta också.
"We have a responsibility to deliver the best game we possibly can, and frankly we need more time to accomplish this goal. It's no secret that building a game during a pandemic is a challenge and we are not immune to this. We are planning to use the extra time to both focus on the level of quality at release, as well as invest in more systems to support Darkside for years to come."
