Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide stormed StreamerHouse in 2022 with 894 peak viewers, as Fatshark brought their Vermintide expertise to the grimdark future on November 30. This was the studio's first foray into 40K, trading fantasy rats for Chaos cultists and adding deep gunplay to their beloved melee combat formula. The streams showcased four-player co-op horde-slaying in the dystopian hive city of Tertium, where convicts-turned-Inquisition agents fought endless tides of Nurgle's corruption. That 894-viewer peak captured launch day excitement for what many considered 2022's best co-op title, despite some initial progression complaints. With its evolution from Vermintide 2's melee excellence into a balanced dance of chainswords and lasguns, Darktide proved that Fatshark's formula worked brilliantly in the 41st millennium. StreamerHouse audiences watched the Emperor's finest exterminatus their way through hordes of heretics.
