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.

Developer Fatshark celebrates the fifth anniversary of Warhammer: Vermintide 2!

Since its release in 2018, Vermintide 2 has grown to become a beloved title worldwide and is still home to a thriving community. Fatshark has consistently updated the game throughout the years; by now, it offers more than twice as much content as at launch - be that free expansions like Chaos Wastes and, more recently, Trail of Treachery as part of the Treacherous Adventure DLC.

Time-Exclusive Level
The annual tradition continues with Fatshark making the popular celebratory level A Quiet Drink available from March 8 - 20. A Quiet Drink invites players to celebrate by drinking their fill in Helmgart's local tavern, only to find it overrun by ratmen. Players must traverse the town (with ale goggles on) to find their next drink while clearing Helmgart's infestation of Chaos along the way.

“I think it’s fair to say that none of us thought Vermintide 2 would have such a lasting impact and still be so popular after half a decade. We’re immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished with the game and still quite excited about its future. Of course, we wouldn’t be here without all the support from our players, so stay tuned for even more Vermintide 2 in 2023,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark.

As part of the festivities, Vermintide 2 is currently Free to Play on Steam until March 13, 2023, and you can also enjoy Triple XP until the event ends on March 19th. 

Fatshark also just put live Patch 4.8.5 - this patch contains a handful of localization fixes for Russian players, and a fix to correct the cheeto-dust-coloured Skaven, but the bulk of it is preparing our systems for the upcoming anniversary event.

Key Features:

• Ruthless 4 Player Co-operative Experience: The combined forces of Chaos and Skaven are merciless, and it will require a co-ordinated team effort to survive their never-ending onslaught.
• 5 Heroes with 15 Career Paths: Choose between 15 unique careers, each with different appearances, abilities, talents and weapon arsenals to best suit your preferred combat style.
• Chaos and Skaven Working Together: Skaven and Chaos armies have formed a pact to plunge the world into death and decay, with horrifying specials and bosses.
• Talent Trees & Progression: Level up, choose between specialized talents for your hero, and excel throughout the game.
• The Adventure Continues: Explore a wide range of breathtaking new levels set in and around Helmgart, a fortress city protecting the Bretonnian border of the Empire.
• New Improved Loot System: Be rewarded with relevant loot for the chosen career at the end of each successful mission.
• Fight Overwhelming Enemy Hordes: Skaven prefer strength in numbers, and with the Chaos at their side the heroes must be prepared to overcome unimaginable odds.
• Twitch Integration: More information about the Twitch Integration will be presented via a live stream in December.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is currently available for PC (Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PS4.
