Set in the dark and grim Warhammer Fantasy world, you must join forces with up to three other players to tackle the endless hordes of enemies. Equipped with a variety of melee and ranged weapons, you and your team are all that stands between utter defeat and victory - and if you fall so will the Empire.

Vermintide 2 is a melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. The game introduces the dark, bloody and twisted Chaos as an enemy faction. Other new features include 15 hero careers, new environments, talent trees and the proprietary Heroic Deeds System.

Independent developer Fatshark today announced that they have acquired the Swedish game developer A Sweet Studio AB.

“Fatshark has been taking a bigger bite out of the Swedish game developing map, and has now swallowed a whole studio” says Sharky McSharkface, the Fat Shark in Fatshark.

“We are happy to announce that we have acquired A Sweet Studio, that has great experience and will hit the ground running today which is the first day at the Fatshark office.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark.

All nine employees at A Sweet Studio have already moved to the Fatshark office, located in Stockholm, and are gearing up to work on more content for Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

“It’s great to be a part of such a successful studio, and be working on a great IP such as Warhammer” Says Gustav Linde, the former CEO and founder of  A Sweet Studio.

Gustav Linde is an industry veteran with 20 years experience of making games, leading an experienced team of artists and programmers that are all excited to join forces with Fatshark.

All brands in the A Sweet Studio catalogue are now owned by Fatshark.
