The day has come, please direct me to the new class reveal for I cannot find it and each additional moment without knowing is torture. I may not be able to hold on much longer as I flagellate to cleanse and prepare for the news.
By the Emperors’ light let this hardship be passed!
They’re delaying to ensure the class works properly.
If this was just a ganger then I imagine that’d be easy. To me this hints at a technically challenging class and that can only mean AD-Mech.
Imagine a Tech-priest with a number of servitor gun-skulls hovering around them but that can also be commanded to perform tasks. Or a Tech-Priest speeding up hacking of a server to halve the mid-level event time. Or even more advanced changes to the game dynamic an AD-mech class would entail. Like Skitari skill tree path with night vision and a passive area radiation damage applied.
These things are technically and balancewise complex warranting extra testing and a delay like we got now.
While adding a ganger isn’t particularly technical in nature beyond what Fatsharks’ done previously. Unless it can create map shortcuts or something?
Anyway the delay is a good thing if it means we get something that adds significantly to the game experience and immersion. Like the things I described above.
This delay along with Mechanicus being promoted by GW right now and SM2 introducing Tech-Marines point to AD-Mech being the new Darktide class.
We’ll see on the 18th if my hunch here is right or not.
At least now we also have a release date and it’s not as I’d feared sometime mid-2026 but 2nd of December not long after the reveal.
