Warhammer 40,000: Darktide progress will carry over into the complete game, Fatshark confirms

Beta checks usually perform individually from full game releases—that’s, what you do within the beta will not depend when the complete game comes alongside. The excellent news for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide gamers is that any progress they make within the ongoing pre-release beta will carry over to the complete game when it launches on November 30.

Fatshark left some doubt in an update posted yesterday, November 24, saying that it wished to permit beta progress to hold over to the complete launch, however could not assure it. “The reason being that we’re nonetheless utilizing this era to check our development programs, and we wish to reserve the chance to alter or reset issues within the occasion one thing unexpected or essential occurs,” the studio wrote.

Apparently the studio has made sufficient progress on that entrance to be happy, although, as a result of earlier as we speak it dedicated to saving progress on Twitter.

“Some could neglect the promise of progress,” the studio mentioned. “We didn’t. Development will carry over from the beta to the complete launch.”

Response to the promise was largely constructive, though a number of replies complained in regards to the state of the beta, which has struggled with bugs and efficiency points. However there is a brilliant aspect for gamers deeply dissatisfied with their beta expertise as nicely, as Fatshark mentioned the Steam refund coverage should not kick in till Darktide goes into full launch, so folks can get their a reimbursement no matter how a lot time they’ve spent within the beta.

“We consider you should have the power to refund with the identical refund guidelines making use of as soon as Darktide launches and after November thirtieth,” the studio wrote in a current FAQ. “Please ship an e mail to (Steam assist) for additional particulars or extra clarification.”

It is not carved in stone, but it surely is sensible: As Fatshark implied, it is Steam coverage so the decision finally lies with Valve, however Darktide would not launch till November 30, so all of the taking part in you are doing now (arguably, no less than) would not depend. I’ve reached out to Fatshark and Valve for extra data on the Darktide refund coverage and can update if I obtain a reply.
