Darktide’s getting a Sisters of Battle class on December 7

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide will add the Sister Novitiate class on 7 December, bringing the Adepta Sororitas to the game. The playable character is a trainee rather than a full Sister of Battle, a choice that fits the game’s setting among convicts and rejects.

The class uses a Faith resource and lets players choose from six Acts of Faith, including offensive and protective abilities. Players build Faith through Doctrines and Pledges in the talent tree; the update also adds the game’s first meltagun, available to the Veteran class. The Sister Novitiate is listed at €12 on Steam, with an expected price of about £10 or $12.
