Fatshark shared a trailer for Grim Protocols, an upcoming free update for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. This update will be released on December 3 across all platforms. This also happens to be the same day that Darktide releases on PlayStation 5.
Grim Protocols includes a new game mode, new missions, three new weapon families, a special anniversary event, and more. Some of that "and more" includes various yet undisclosed quality of life improvements.
