Fatshark has revealed at the Warhammer Skulls 2024 showcase that it will release its next free update for Warhammer 40K: Darktide, titled “Secrets of the Machine God,” on June 25th.
The update will also be available to download for PC and Xbox Series X/S users on Game Pass.
Darktide Secrets of the Machine God Release Date
This latest update will add a new mission that allows players to explore a derelict Mechanicus research station in Atelium Foundryplex Omega V.
The teaser trailer shown at the showcase, embedded below, reveals that our mission will be to make contact with an informant to reactivate the Foundryplex. We are warned that our contact’s motives are unverified, so it’s best not to let our guard down.
Thankfully, we will have a few new weapons to keep us protected, including the iconic Bolt Pistol, Ogryn Pickaxes, Shockmauls, and a new Shotgun.
Darktide Hestia’s Decollation Crusade Event
Darktide will get its first in-game event, Hestia’s Decollation Crusade, where players will be tasked with destroying the heads of swarms of heretics. If you beat the challenge you will be rewarded with in-game currencies such as Ordo Dockets, Plasteel, and Diamantine.
“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.”
The event will be live until the 30th of May.
Here’s the full patch notes for today’s update:
