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?!

Fatshark Games' time as developer of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (as well as its predecessor) has mostly been forward-thinking.  Since releasing the game in March of this year, the Stockholm-based studio has sought ways to enhance their first person bashing simulator through the addition of new stages or unique items.  This time, though, their inspiration has come from the distant year of 2015.

Since its PC release earlier this year, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has received a smattering of free DLC to spice up players' experiences as they worked their way through the main game.  Each one was a welcome addition to the core gameplay, but we had yet to receive a "substantial" batch of new content from developer Fatshark Games.

Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has been doing quite well for itself since it launched last March on the PC, and just last month on the Xbox One. If you've been enjoying teaming up with your buddies to slay Skaven and the hordes of Chaos, but want to visit a new locale, then you're in luck. "Shadows over Bogenhafen" arrives on August 28 and... well, actually, that's just about all we know.

Some co-op favorite will be available via Xbox Game Pass this month. These games include Zombie Army Trilogy, Human: Fall Flat and Warhammer Vermintide 2. If you’re unfamiliar, Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service where, for a monthly fee, players can pick from a selection of  games to play for free as long as you maintain your subscription. The ever-growing library features over 100 titles, and new games are coming at different points throughout July.

We're big fans of killing rats around here. Doing so cooperatively is our forte. Now we can continue that quest in style with fancy new hats included in today's massive (and free) content update for Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

At the end of last week, Fatshark released an update for their rat exterminator simulator, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, that addressed one of the bigger concerns: the sudden difficulty spikes. There are a number of tweaks and changes within Patch 1.0.5, but the big ones are to each of the main characters and the increased Hero Power cap for Veteran difficulty.

Fatshark's Warhammer: Vermintide 2 dropped on the PC yesterday, so we got the usual Monday night stream crew to see if we've gotten any better since the original. In short: just barely.

Humanoid rats beware, there's about to be a new extermination simulator in town, and this time, it ain't content to just fend off your ravenous hordes.  Yes sir, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will also be stickin' it to Ye Olde Chaos Warriors, who are decidedly bigger and less cowardly than their ratkin compatriots.
