Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark, said:

It’s been an exciting, and maybe a little crazy week for Fatshark, with two brand new Warhammer 40,000: Darktide trailers released. While last week’s amazing Warhammer Skulls trailer focused more on story, gameplay is what it all comes down to, and today we gave you almost 120 seconds of Darktide.

As mentioned in the headline, the developers of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide also revealed their partnership with NVIDIA to implement ray tracing for reflections and global illumination, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex in their game. Darktide will also be playable at launch through GeForce NOW.
