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 announced that Karak Azgaraz, Vermintide 2’s latest free DLC, will release on June 13 on PC, with console versions to follow in the near future.

Today at Warhammer Skulls 2023, Fatshark underlined its strong support of Vermintide 2, now in its fifth year, as the developer announced an in-game event, new content, and an update on the next playable Career.

"We’re happy to announce Karak Azaraz for Vermintide 2. We’ve worked hard to bring three fan-favorite levels from the first game back in remastered fashion," said Sacha Karsenty, Producer on Vermintide 2.

“We’re also proud that even after 5 years, we can still support Vermintide 2 thanks to our great community. This week's community celebration and in-game event are a testament to that. And let’s not forget about Sienna’s new career! We won’t go into detail yet, but we are excited to share more soon.”

Fatshark runs an in-game event celebrating Warhammer Skulls 2023: Skulls for the Skull Throne. Players can pick up skulls on various maps to affect gameplay for greater challenge and receive a limited-time player portrait frame in return. Fatshark also challenges players to unite and defeat as many enemies as possible between May 25-June 4 for five limited-time red-colored weapon variants for their heroes to wield.

Additionally, Fatshark has revealed their next DLC—Karak Azgaraz—will release June 13 for PC and later in Summer 2023 for console, which features three maps inspired by the maps of the same name from the previous game. Karak Azgaraz sends the Ubersreik Five to help a struggling dwarf war party sabotage a Skaven army and turn the tide in their favor to successfully counterattack. Karak Azgaraz is free for all players.

Fatshark has also teased Sienna’s long-awaited fourth career, and while remaining tight-lipped on what she could be, they aim to release her in Fall 2023.
