If the embed won’t load, Fatshark’s teaser is also here on X.
Fatshark has a habit of saving Darktide surprises for 11 November, and this year it has warmed up with a cryptic teaser for the co-op shooter’s next playable class, signed off with a breezy “Stay tuned, Warband”. The studio hasn’t named the class, but fans who spotted a crossbow bolt and plenty of religious imagery in the clip have reached a conclusion with Ecclesiarchy-grade conviction: the Adepta Sororitas, the Sisters of Battle, are finally coming to Atoma Prime. The full reveal is expected today.
If they’re right, it would end one of the longest-running campaigns in the game’s community. Darktide launched in 2022 with four classes (Veteran, Zealot, Psyker and Ogryn), and since then has added three paid ones: the riot-shielded Arbites in June 2025, the Hive Scum in December 2025, and the cyborg Skitarii of the Adeptus Mechanicus this June, priced at $11.99. The Hive Scum was revealed exactly a year ago today, to the audible deflation of everyone who had been praying for something holier or more mechanical. Earlier this month, a dataminer claimed to have found files for an unreleased class whose weapons and cosmetics resemble those of Sororitas Novitiates, the order’s trainees, reportedly under the name “Dauntless”. None of that is official, so treat it with a generous pinch of incense.
A novice rather than a fully power-armoured Battle Sister would make sense, mind you. Darktide’s strike teams are made up of rejects, convicts and assorted expendables, and a Celestian in full ceramite would make the rest of the squad look like they’d turned up to a crusade in their pyjamas. That’s our speculation, not Fatshark’s. Here at SFcrowsnest, we’ll know soon enough whether the faithful have read the runes correctly. If the crossbow turns out to belong to someone else entirely, expect the community to take it with the stoicism for which Warhammer fans are famous, which is to say none whatsoever.
