Two years since its launch on PC, Fatshark has announced that <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/">Warhammer 40,000: Darktide</a> will finally release on PlayStation 5 consoles on December 3, 2024. 

This much-awaited release will bring all enhancements and updates made since the initial PC version, putting its visual scale similar to Saber Interactive’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2/">Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2</a>.

Darktide is also optimized for PlayStation 5 Pro at 60 FPS frame rate at 4K resolution. Also included in this console port are two gameplay modes available for players: a 60 FPS Performance mode at 1440p resolution and a 30 FPS Quality Mode at 4K resolution.

Players who opt for the Imperial Edition can access the game six days early, beginning November 27. The Standard Edition will be available through the PlayStation Store for $39.99/€39.99. PlayStation Plus subscribers will enjoy discounts of 10% on the Standard Edition and 15% on the Imperial Edition.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide released on PC back in 2022 and on Xbox Game Pass a year later. It takes place in the grimdark <a href="https://whatoplay.com/discover/?search%5Bquery%5D=Warhammer%2040%2C000">universe of Warhammer 40,000 </a>by Games Workshop. 

Instead of assuming control of the powerful Space Marines, Darktide puts players into the shoes of the universe’s other classes, namely the Veteran, Psyker, Zealot and Ogryn. It immerses players in the brutal task of reclaiming Tertium, a city overrun by relentless Chaos hordes. 

Similar to Fatshark’s previous entry, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/warhammer-end-times-vermintide/">Vermintide</a>, it emphasizes cooperative gameplay in its sprawling PvE modes. Darktide demands teamwork, so players wandering from teammates leaves them vulnerable to powerful foes. Only by staying close can players recharge their strength and face the danger together. 

Combat builds upon the melee-focused mechanics of Vermintide 2, further enhancing 40K’s signature gunplay experience. Players must master between melee and ranged combat, wielding iconic weapons such as the chainsword and Lasgun to fend off enemies. 

The game received a playscore of 7.0 on PC from over sixty thousand players and 54 critics. Not a lot of fans were happy with its balancing and pacing. However, over the years Fatshark has improved the game with a variety of quality of life improvements and new gameplay changes. With the imminent PlayStation 5 release next month, Darktide will be at its most ideal version yet.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II Reveals Storyline in New Trailer

There's a new <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/eve-online/">EVE Online</a> game but fans of the 2003 MMORPG are apparently not happy with it.

On October 29, Iceland-based studio CCP Games rolled out <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/eve-galaxy-conquest/">EVE Galaxy Conquest</a>.

The newest title in the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/discover/?search%5Bquery%5D=EVE%20Online">EVE universe</a> happened to be <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/free/strategy/">a free-to-play mobile strategy game</a> set. It features an X gameplay model—explore, expand, exploit, exterminate. This meant players would get to take command of iconic ships from one of the four powerful factions in the EVE universe.

Developers behind EVE Galaxy Conquest promised to deliver the kind of action from the original game. From large-scale, epic battles with thousands of players to combining tactical skill, diplomacy, and combat to claim ultimate victory.

<figure>
 <img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/evegalaxyconquestscreenshot.jpg" alt="EVE Galaxy Conquest screenshot">
 <figcaption class="text-xs">A screenshot of EVE Galaxy Conquest</figcaption>
 </figure>

But since its release, it has faced negative reviews, especially from fans.

ScreenRant reported that avid players of EVE Online hit CCP for 'not taking their time to make a good companion game for their IP (intellectual property).'

Others even went as calling it out as a 'cash-grab.' Redditors in the r/eve subReddit pointed out that its strategy gameplay was 'as deep as a puddle.' They also believed that generative artificial intelligence (AI) had been used for the game's illustration.

EVE Galaxy Conquest also fared poorly on Google Play. It received a rating of 2.9, from over 2,400 reviews, as of November 5, 2024. Aside from disappointed fans, gamers criticized the game for multiple performance issues.

In EVE Galaxy Conquest, players must defend their chosen empire. They also need to explore uncharted territories as well as expand their influence. Like true EVE Online fashion, they can do this through calculated diplomacy or fierce combat.

The game also has a competitive mode where players vie for top rankings and defend their titles against fresh rivals each season.

There's a new EVE Online game but fans of the 2003 MMORPG are apparently not happy with it.

EVE Galaxy Conquest is Out But…

Indie Developer Chasing Rats officially launches the hands-on demo for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/worship/">Worship</a>, a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/roguelike/">roguelike</a> game set to lead players on a journey of cult leadership. The demo is scheduled to run until the game’s full release sometime in early 2025.

This announcement also came with a trailer, offering a sneak peek into the grim yet enchanting world of Worship. Check it out here: 

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="790" height="444" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kWbwAQgUiLo" title="Worship - Official Gameplay Trailer | PC Gaming Show 2024" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Worship’s demo is available exclusively on <a href="√">Steam</a> and is part of the Save & Sound Festival, an online event that showcases game demos and discounts. Other titles showcased in the event were <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/buckshot-roulette/">Buckshot Roulette</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/tiny-glade/">Tiny Glade</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/a-short-hike/">A Short Hike</a>, one of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/">the best games on Switch</a> right now. 

The demo provides a one-hour preview of Worship, with single-player as its only available option yet. However, upon the game’s official release, up to four players will be able to join in cooperative gameplay. Players will have to wait before they unite with friends in their dark pursuits.

Worship’s premise is pretty simple, but highly dubious if applied in the modern age. Players assume the role of a cult leader driven by a singular mission: to gather followers and bring about the end times. They must guide their devoted, bloodthirsty, followers through various tasks designed to appease their Lovecraftian overlords.

Through strategic rituals and unwavering loyalty, followers play a crucial role. They can be used from purging heretics to offering their own blood for strength or aiding in the completion of puzzles. Fans of Nintendo’s Pikmin series will find its ‘follower’ mechanics familiar. 

Despite sharing similarities with Devolver Digital’s Cult of the Lamb, Worship doesn’t exactly follow the same gameplay loop. It does have one obvious connection: making a humorous jab at these questionable cults. 

Worship is now available in demo form on Steam. The full game is slated for release in early 2025.
