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.

“We’re thrilled to announce the long awaited Beta of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and for PlayStation 4 players to join the fight” says Martin Wahlund, CEO at Fatshark. “Vermintide 2 combines gritty combat with cooperative multiplayer action and will give PlayStation 4 players an early taste of the brutal combat that awaits them ahead of its December 18 launch.”

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Ultimate Pre-Order Edition is available in the PS4 store until December 18, the day of Vermintide 2’s release.
