While Fatshark recently released the amazing Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on PC, that game's predecessor, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 still has plenty of life left. Case in point: the free "Trail of Treachery" level that arrived on PC in November has now emerged on Xbox as well. The new level takes place in the snow and is quite cool indeed, but the game's 99.79 GB file size is becoming quite a challenge for the limited storage capacity of the Xbox Series consoles.

It's only a few short weeks until the release of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, but its predecessor, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is still going strong. Fatshark just gave out the Steam version for free, and now the same version has received a new free level. "Trail of Treachery" is set on a snowy mountain. It's a fun and challenging new level that adds even more to an already great cooperative experience.

Fatshark is almost ready to unleash Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on the game-playing masses on November 30. Most players' hearts will not be able to take that game's brutal first-person cooperative action, so the developer is helping people build up their tolerance by giving them Darktide's spiritual predecessor, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, first. That's right, the Steam version of Vermintide 2 is totally free to keep if you grab it between now and November 7. It might even save your life!

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is one of our all-time favorite co-op games around here, a first-person, team-based action game set in the dark world of Warhammer: The End Times. Thus, it's great to see Swedish developer Fatshark continue to support the game with new content after all these years. The next free content will be a free level called Be’lakor, and it's due out on PC and consoles later this month.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 employs a slightly staggered release schedule in which updates and DLC hit PC first, then Xbox, and eventually, PlayStation. Case in point: the 'Sister of the Thorn' DLC that launched on PC earlier this month has just arrived on Xbox and PlayStation. It adds a new career (class) for Kerillian the elf. Meanwhile, PlayStation also just received the free 'Chaos Wastes' expansion that already came out on the other platforms.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 received a, as the developer puts it, “small” patch last week in the form of the 2.4 update. The update, viewable in full here, brings better collision detection to Enchanter’s Lair, fixes locations where players can get stuck on both Old Haunts and Enchanter’s Lair, and some general fixes to the...

In case you have been away from the battlefronts in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 for a spell, the war continues to rage on against the forces of grotesque evil. This battle has now expanded onto the second free Drachenfels map - Blood in the Darkness. The official word from developer Fat Shark states,  “In the new free map to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, the merry band of heroes commonly known as the Ubersreik Five are on their way towards the castle but are faced with unexpected challenges. The hostile environment appears to be even darker than ever.“ This update is available now across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 may have left the public eye ever so slightly since its 2018 release, but that hasn't stopped the game's constant flow of new content.  Similar to its predecessor, Vermintide 2's expansions have come in both the free and paid variety, with the most recent release being free to all of the game's current owners.

As if Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - a game about killing hordes of evil with medieval weapons - needed any more reason to be awesome, the game has received its first true expansion pack via the Winds of Magic, which adds weapons, maps, enemies, and a game mode. The expansion, which requires the base game to play, is available now on PC for $19.99. However, if you have a friend - and we here at Co-Optimus do enjoy games more with friends - who purchased the content they can invite you into their game even if you haven’t bought it yet.

You've conquered the minions of Chaos.  You've slain hordes of Skaven.  You probably think you're the cream of the Vermintide 2 crop, right?  This summer, Fatshark Games is going to reinforce the fact that no, you very much are not.

The sequel to the horde-based smash, dash, bash, cast, blast, and clear a path game, Warhammer: Vermintide, arrives on the PlayStation 4 today. While the game has been out on PC and Xbox One for some time now, today’s release marks the final console to receive the game with no Switch version being mentioned thus far.

The newest DLC, "Back to Ubersreik," for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is available now, giving players the chance to go back to remastered Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide levels and relive their favorite memories from their old (horde) stomping grounds. However, the developers over at Fatshark have subtly hinted that everything is not as it may appear at first glance, saying that, “The three maps have been remastered and there is also a secret surprise waiting for our heroes.” As the DLC is out now, what are you waiting for?!
