The Darktide pre-order beta is going live on November 17, and players will get to test the game in the final two weeks before the official launch. When the beta was announced, there is questions over weather the pre-order beta progression will carry over to the full game. The answer to that is partially answered.

Will Darktide beta progression carry over? No guarantees as of yet¶

At the time of writing, there is no guarantee whether or not the progression will carry into the full Darktide launch. Hedge, one of the community managers over on the Darktide Discord stated on November 10 in the general channel:

This is one of the subjects that will need to be kept an eye on during the pre order beta test. The result is that players will need to monitor the Darktide Discord and see the official stance at any point during the two-week beta period.

Essentially, the beta period will remain largely a test. If the game requires a wipe because of broken or unbalanced content, they will wipe it to refresh the slate clean. However, if the game stays b balanced and with a reasonable progression, then chances are the progression will carry onto the full launch.

The full intention of the beta is to work out whats fair, progress well, and also find bugs and other technical issues ready for the day 1 patch. More so, we are also aware that the contents of the pre-order beta That could also indicate that players may need to be reset or hit a wall that doesn’t exist in the game. Again, this could work in our favor to keep progression from the beta to the full game, or it could go against it. As we get closer towards the end of the beta, chances are we ill know the true answer to that question.
