Our first update will focus on a comprehensive revamp and expansion of the penance system, including adding many additional rewards and a completely new way to earn them. We will be sharing more information on this update by the end of the month, along with a dev blog so keep your eyes peeled on our Communication channels to learn more. Following this, we are working on an overhaul of our current itemisation process. With the new system we want to remove a lot of the unpredictable grind that came from an RNG heavy system whilst giving players more agency and a steady manner to progress toward specific loadouts, blessings, and stats refinement. Although these are significant portions of each update, this is not our full plan for 2024. We will be adding new elements to Darktide throughout the year as well including (but not limited to) new missions, new enemies, new weapons, new conditions, and new features alongside balance updates, quality of life additions, along with some other surprises which we will share in due time. We thank you for all your feedback you’ve given so far, and look forward to sharing these changes and new content with you in the near future and seeing what you think! > **Update from the Darktide Team 29/03/24** > “_We are still working on the Announcement and the Dev Blog around our next update ‘Path to Redemption’ and look forward to sharing them with you soon!

This sounds promising, although I have to ask - why revamp the achievement system first, and not the crafting system? I haven’t seen anyone complain about the achievements other than the tedium in getting them, alongside some pretty weird secret achievement requirements. ---

For your future plans, please look into the replayability of the content you are putting out. Content comes slowly as expected, but that would be a lot less of a problem if replayability was increased, as it would make new content feel fresher for longer. ---

Big W if those systems will be any player friendly, not frustrating and respect player’s time. Are we gaming? Map system also needs a revamp. Once you will add more maps it’s gonna be hard to access all maps cause screen is limited (or you gonna increase ammount of maps selection number again and flood map screen even more?) Aswell as it’s force players to logout - beat map see it’s still in rotation, you go alt tab to wait for a new map - boom, same map again, you log out and go play something else. ---

All of this sounds very promising - I’m definitely looking forward to _perhaps_ finally seeing all the cosmetic items that are sitting in the backend, but the development of which seemed to had halted at some point. The biggest win for everyone would certainly be the _long overdue_ itemisation rework. By the way, is there any chance we could get a clarification from the dev team on what > new weapons entails? Is it just new marks of the existing weapons, or is there a chance we will genuinely see new weapon models? ---
