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.

Fatshark invites you to become a weekend Hero in the hit game Warhammer: Vermintide 2. From August 30 to September 3, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will be free to play for everyone on Steam (also on Xbox One, but only the main game, not the DLC).

“We are excited to bring Steam users the chance to play Vermintide 2” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. “This will be a good opportunity to get into the battle and help the Heroes fend of the Skaven and Chaos hords.” 

Free Weekend
Aug 30 - Sep 3 will let everyone on Steam play Vermintide 2 for free. The whole game will be available, including the new Shadows Over Bogenhafen DLC if you are lucky enough to be invited by a fellow Hero who owns the DLC.

Free Weekend Special - 50% off
Beside playing Vermintide 2 for free, Fatshark will also have a Free Weekend Special on the game, giving new players 50% off throughout the whole Free Weekend period.
