It's rarely a happy occasion when a highly anticipated game gets pushed back, which has just happened with Fatshark's Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. The sci-fi-themed cooperative first-person shooter from the creators of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 was already pushed back once before. This cloud has a silver lining, however: Darktide finally ...
In this post-Left 4 Dead 2 world, numerous clones and spiritual successors like the upcoming Back 4 Blood and Evil Dead: The Game are left to make up for the absence of an official L4D sequel. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 from Fatshark is the best of what's actually out right now, so we're naturally looking forward to the sequel/spin-off Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Unfortunately, we'll need to wait a while longer because Darktide's release has been delayed to 2022.
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.
Off the back of their twin successes, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark has decided to take yet another dip into the waters of co-op, first person gameplay. This time, though, they've left behind the dark, medieval setting of Warhammer Fantasy and flung themselves into the dark, sci-fi future of Warhammer 40,000.
As the days grow warmer and the evenings longer, having more games to play with family and friends is important. Thankfully, Games With Gold has provided Xbox Live Gold members with another free co-op title in 2017’s Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr. The game is available for Xbox One for the 30 days from May 16th to June 15th. Unfortunately, Warhammer is also the only co-op title making its way to May’s Games With Gold, as the other titles featured are V Rally 4, The Sensible World of Soccer and Overlord.
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.
Officially released last June on the PC and a couple months later on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, Neocore Games' action-RPG, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, has gone through two seasons of free content that added new enemies, increased power/level caps, and opened up new subsectors to play. Through all of this, the developers have been gathering feedback and working on a much larger update to bring a number of quality of life (QoL) changes to the game.
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.
