[QUOTE="Admin, post: 58269, member: 1"] Since [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/warhammer-40000-darktide']Warhammer 40,000: Darktide's[/URL] launch in November, players have issued complaints about its incomplete gameplay mechanics and unstable framerate, with just 35% of its 8,510 recent Steam reviews currently being positive. Now, Fatshark, the team behind the co-op shooter, is shifting its focus to address these complaints. Today, Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund addressed the game's launch and outlined the team's plan moving forward with [URL='https://twitter.com/Darktide40K/status/1617960503233445910']an open letter[/URL] published on the [URL='https://twitter.com/Darktide40K']@Darktide40K Twitter account[/URL]. When creating Warhammer 40K: Darktide, according to the open letter, the team wanted to "create a highly engaging and stable game with a level of depth that keeps you playing for weeks, not hours." "We fell short of meeting those expectations," Wahlund acknowledged. He then moved to announce a new focus on addressing feedback, which will include "a complete crafting system, a more rewarding progression loop," and improved "game stability and performance optimization." The team's new focus will indefinitely delay the launch of the game on Xbox Series X|S, which was slated to release shortly after the game's November PC launch but hadn't yet received a release date at the time of the delay. Fatshark is also delaying seasonal content rollout and upcoming premium cosmetics.
