From Press Release:
Stockholm Sweden, September 29th, 2026 – Announced earlier this month, the Depths of the Damned update hits the sprawling reaches of Tertium today! Introducing Spillway, a new mission which sees Strike Teams battling through the treacherous labyrinth of Tertium’s Water Cartel territory. There’s more than just chaos festering in the forgotten passages in the deepest recesses of the hive. Every step through the winding tunnels leads players closer to a monstrously corrupted psyker boss encounter – The Prophet of Decay.
Strike Teams won’t be descending towards the horrors beneath empty-handed, with six new weapons added to Tertium’s arsenal. Depths of the Damned launches alongside an all live event, new premium cosmetics and a range of quality of life improvements.
- Spillway Mission: The new mission sends players into the deep and dangerous recesses of an unseen area of the Hive. The notorious domain of Tertium’s Water Cartel is a sprawling labyrinth of tunnels, waterways and forgotten passages, crawling with chaos, decay and threats best left undisturbed. Spillway’s journey is far from straightforward. Strike teams must choose their paths wisely, some routes are more perilous than others…but all lead to something truly horrible.
- The Prophet of Decay Has Arrived: Lurking within the deepest recesses of the Hive, the powerful Psyker awaits Strike Teams who dare enter his domain. Purging Tertium of the Prophet’s corruption will take more than just brute force. Only wits, teamwork and firepower will see anyone survive the fight.
- An Expanded Arsenal: New weapons have arrived in Darktide! Players will be able to wield three new weapon marks and three new weapon families, which are accessible to a range of in-game classes.The new weapon families include the Ogryn Cruncher, Huntsman’s Shotgun and the Ogryn Thugshot. For the new weapon marks Darktide has introduced the Crusher Krourk MK VII, Double-Barrelled Shotgun Krouk Mk IV, Gromm Mk I Battle Maul and the Mk V Slab Shield.
- Balance & Talent Tree Updates: Depths of the Damned also brings a range of balance changes across Darktide’s classes and weapons, aimed at continually improving and refining the core gameplay experience. Amongst these changes class talent trees have been refined, removing minor stat boosts and giving players more freedom to invest their talent points in impactful abilities. A full detailed breakdown of the changes can be found on the Fatshark Forum.
- Allies and Adversaries Live Event: The new monthly event sees Interrogator Rannick lending aid to Grendyl’s allies. Over three missions, players eventually descend into the depths of the Torrent to help the Ragged King with a particularly worrying problem…
- New Commodore Vestures: The brave soldiers of the Cadian 512th and Krieg 158th have joined the battle and will be available in the premium store from today! These storied regiments have amassed a great number of victories between them.
Depths of the Damned is available now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S – The Prophet of Decay is waiting…
