'Warhammer: Vermintide 2' Celebrates 4th Anniversary With Time Exclusive Level, Sale, Live-Streams

by Rainier on March 8, 2022 @ 8:40 a.m. PST

In Warhammer: Vermintide 2 it's time for players to return to the first-person co-op experience with intense melee action.

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 celebrates the fourth anniversary of Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

Four Years - Twice the Size - A fifth of the Price

Since its release in 2018, the game has been updated frequently and received several free expansions. The popular Chaos Wastes expansion alone features a larger gameplay area than the original game. Its three Drachenfels levels represented a total increase of over 23 percent to the base game, which means that, since its release, Vermintide 2 has more than doubled in size. 

There is a lot to explore for anyone who hasn't played Vermintide 2 in a while, and for new players, there hasn't been a better time to start playing - especially now that the game is available on Steam with a massive 80% discount for a limited time.

Time Exclusive Level

The annual tradition continues with Fatshark making the popular celebratory level A Quiet Drink available from March 8 - 20. This is a time-limited event not to be missed. 

"I'm proud of what we’ve been able to add to the industry and to be oard of the Warhammer world. I'm even prouder of the Fatshark staff for their hard work and dedication to create the best possible experience for our players," says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. "We’ve got a lot more in store for Vermintide 2, and I’m excited about the new releases during 2022."
