Games Workshop has announced a board game based on Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, but, uh, maybe don't get too excited

If you've ever been playing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and thought"I wish there was a tabletop version of this", it's possible there was a monkey's paw in the vicinity. Games Workshop has granted your wish with the newly announcedTo get it out of the way early: there are no new miniatures in this box. The models are simply recycled from other Warhammer releases, rather than being custom sculpts based on the videogame, which gives it all a bit of an uncanny valley feel.

The game itself, however, I would expect to be pretty lightweight and unremarkable—none of these smaller releases have really set the world on fire so far. A more accessible alternative to the complex mainline games of Warhammer is a fine idea in theory, but these days there are so many really good board games out there you could be buying instead, and it's unlikely there'll be much to recommend about this one outside of the IP.
