Fatshark’s co-op game turns five years old today!
STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, March 8, 2023. Independent developer Fatshark celebrates the fifth anniversary of their award-winning 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.
As part of our festivities, Vermintide 2 is currently Free to Play on Steam until March 13.
“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.
