During the Summer Game Fest stream, a brand new gameplay trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was shown. In the two-minute trailer, players can get a look at some of the exciting 4-player co-op action on offer in Darktide, including an example of a mission playthrough.

From what's shown, the gameplay looks fantastic, and builds upon the strong foundation that developer Fatshark offered with Vermintide 2. 

If you're itching to learn more, the Steam page for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide offers the following description:

Additional information about the game is also provided on its Steam page, such as players being able to create their own unique, customizable character and control which skills and traits they use in battle.

The game is "built on the legacy of Vermintide 2's best-in-class melee combat" with Darktide adding gunplay to the mix as well. Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is currently available for pre-purchase on Steam, with the game set to release later this year on September 13.
