Fatshark launched its first paid expansion for Warhammer 40K Darktide and exceeded sales expectations. The Swedish game developer added the Adeptus Arbites class to the action game. Company CEO Martin Wahlund said the team more than doubled their player goals on the first day. The launch marked a major success for the studio. Players responded well to the new content.
The developer shared interesting statistics about player behavior since the expansion arrived. Gamers petted the Cyber-Mastiff companion 459,760 times during their missions. Players killed more than 553 million enemies using the new Adeptus Arbites character. The Mk III Branx Pattern Arbites Shock Maul became the most popular melee weapon with 969,008 uses. The Mk III Executioner Pattern Arbites Shotgun led ranged weapons with 1,157,103 uses.
Players can buy the Arbites expansion for $11.99 through digital stores. A Deluxe Edition costs $18.99 and contains extra cosmetic items and weapon designs. The package adds special outfits for characters and companions. Portrait frames and weapon skins round out the premium version. Both editions give access to the same gameplay content.
Fatshark released a free update alongside the paid expansion. The patch added a structured story path to help new players learn the game. Mission options increased for all character types through an improved board system. The maximum number of operatives rose from six to eight slots. Weapon loadout limits also expanded to eight configurations.
The update brought 900 new dialogue exchanges between team members. Owlcat Games also released Adeptus Arbites content for their Warhammer 40K game Rogue Trader. The Lex Imperialis expansion adds the same law enforcement class to that role-playing game. Both titles feature the Emperor's justice enforcers as playable characters.
