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.

The Warhammer: Vermintide 2 BETA is rolling out this weekend. Anyone who signed up for the BETA will receive a key in the mail shortly if they haven’t already.

The BETA is open Thu Feb 22 (6PM CET/9AM PST) and ends Mon 26 (10AM CET/1AM PST).

“The demand for keys has been much higher than we ever imagined, and as we are getting a lot of emails from gamers that haven’t gotten keys. However, anyone that has Pre-Ordered the game will also be able to play the BETA.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark.

Interested fans can already pre-order Warhammer: Vermintide 2 on Steam with a 10% discount.
