If you liked the prospect of a Warhammer themed take on Left 4 Dead, Vermintide fit the bill nicely. And early next year, it’s getting a sequel.
Announced by developers Fatshark this morning, the four-player co-op game concentrated on a Warhammer universe going through the End Times. Your main opponents in the original was the rat-like Skaven, but in the sequel you’ll be repelling Chaos and Skaven from Helmgart, a ravaged Bretonnian city.
Vermintide 2 will have 5 heroes with three different careers at launch for each. During a livestream below the developers added that the game was a “direct sequel”, taking place immediately after the events of the first game. The sequel will also have some form of mod support, although how they will be distributed hasn’t been confirmed (but it will probably be via the Steam Workshop).
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is due out first quarter next year on PC. No word on a console release yet.
