Hello guys, gals and my non-binary pals! Ya mind if I get something off my chest? Since seeing the people’s discussion about new classes and videos talking about enemy design but most importantly, FatSharks roadmap the Tide games, we know that the next update for Darktide will give us a new class and not a new enemy faction.
But that’s pretty weird, isn’t it? Getting new enemies into Darktide seems like the most logical step to take after making a new Arbites class, right? And the answer is
Hey, you want to know something cool? The game Wrath and Glory, that recently collaborated with Darktide, literally confirms that Genestealers are present on Tertium. It’s officialy canon. Genestealer’s exist in Darktide, and they are here, on Atoma Prime, in the city of Tertium.
“So why are we not fighting them yet?” I hear you asking. Well… How do I put this? We’re probably going to have to wait years on end, before we actually get to fight them in-game, if ever. Want to know why?
Oh, it’s nothing big. Just that GW is such a bed-staining, spineless, greedy, spoiled toddler company that they will nitpick and annihilate any good concepts that FatShark suggest because “It doesn’t fit their view of how 40k should be”.
Which is just a little metaphor for: “We want to run this franchise into the ground. We want to sell figurines, and we will stick to that. We have a stick so far up our ass that we don’t want anything new. We want to repeat the same old formula we always did and act like the Eclesiearchy itself when we see anything that even slightly deviates from what we consider to be the norm because we’re a bunch of old farts in suits that have a hard time not being detached from the present. We want to do the same thing over and over again and milk the figurine whales until there’s nothing left, and we don’t care about anything else”.
“But we got Beastmen in Vermintide 2 a year after release!” and to that I say: Correct! That’s because GW just couldn’t give a single care about Warhamer Fantasy. In their eyes, it’s dead it’s and boring, and no one cares about it anymore. But 40k? An entirely different situation. That’s their baby orca that they want to keep locked up in their water tank, doing the same old trick for the audience until it withers so much to the point that it doesn’t bring them profit, anymore.
So yeah, if any of you want new enemies, other than Scabs and Dregs, boy do I got bad news for you. By the time, we get a new enemy faction, like Genestealers, we’ll all probably be small piles of dust spread across the galaxy, because if making one enemy can take up to 6 months, if GW is feeling picky, then imagine how long one would have to wait for an entire faction of enemies. And that’s without even acknowledging how would they play into the story of Darktide and progress it forward (fun fact: that’s why we still haven’t got any new arbites comsetics. GW is so awful, they told FatShark to make a new class and haven’t even provided them with cosmetics to sell because “They haven’t made any new Arbites figurines yet”. And FatShark can’t even risk talking about it so they don’t sour their buisness relationship with GW so they have to stay quiet while people on the forums lose their collective goddamn minds about the lack of variety in the Arbites premium shop section).
Case in point: As one wise, random internet-person once said, “GW is 85% responsible for all of Darktide’s problems since launch.” It’s not that FatShark’s incompetent or can’t listen to feedback. It’s just that GW is such a [I am beyond angry towards this company that I can no longer express it in words, so here have this flower instead 
] and FatShark simply has a hard time keeping up. GW has put such insanely high levels of BS nitpicking and is almost solely responsible for staining this studio’s reputation in the industry forever. I will never let go of that grudge towards them, but then I guess I would not be the first when it comes to holding grudges towards GW wouldn’t I?
