It’s what Strawhat meant with this bit from the announcement post:
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide releases its next update on June 25, 2024, on PC and Xbox Series X|S. This new update features (but is not limited to):**
- New Mission: explore a derelict Mechanicus research station in Atelium Foundryplex Omega V.
- New Weapons: introducing the iconic Bolt Pistol, Ogryn’s first two-handed weapons, the Pickaxes, Shockmauls and a new double-barrelled Shotgun.
** We are still working on the itemization part of the update as mentioned in the Vision Statement. We are currently in testing and we are working on a dev blog to share with everyone.
Translation: “the itemization part of the update might come with this June 25th content drop, but it might not – it’s currently in testing and needs to pass this before we want to release it.”
I know that this is what it means because I pushed for this information to be included myself, and Fatshark agreed and wanted to be transparent about it as well. I think that, in and of itself, also says something about the current mindset from the people responsible for this update.
