Warhammer End Times: Vermintide Coming To Consoles & PC!
February 6, 2015 by brennon
It looks like The End Times will be coming to your console and PC with the news of Warhammer End Times: Vermintide that looks like it could be quite the co-operative action game in the style of Left 4 Dead and many a horde mode style game...
"The game takes place in and around Ubersreik, a city overrun by Skaven. Players will assume the role of one of five heroes, each featuring different play-styles, abilities, gear and personality. Working cooperatively, players must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from the hordes of relentless rat-men, known as the Skaven. Battles will take place across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire."
From the sounds of it you're going to be fighting, as I mentioned above, in a Left 4 Dead style brawl against the hordes of Skaven attempting to overrun Ubersreik. I really like the sound of this and the images we're seeing so far certainly look like good to me. I hope that there's couch co-op as well as online play.
The heroes that we've seen so far have been the Witch Hunter in the screenshots above and if you have a look at their website you can see the outlines of a Bright Wizard and someone that's clearly a Dwarf, probably an Engineer.
Fatshark, the folks behind the game, worked on the really awesome PC game, War of the Roses, so they do have a good pedigree behind them. I hope this turns out good!

Looks like great fun!
Interesting 🙂 like skaven and L4D so sounds interesting
I don’t understand why this game is being made is the Warhammer world is currently being destroyed and squatted?
If it has an Elf playable character, I’m in! 😀
“Intense violence blood and gore
Alcohol reference”
“I do so enjoy a nice Chianti to wash down a rat or two!”
Don’t forget some fava beans to go with that nice Chianti… 😉
I hear Vermintide has a grotesquely-muscled half-rat/half-cow creature in it called Vermintrude…
Hats off
That was most excellent well played sir
Sounds ok….. When do I get to play as one of the master race… Man things no no. Skaven Skaven, yes , yes….
Eh, I’d gladly give it a try when it comes out^^
Also; the graphics really remind me of some middle-ground between Oblivion and Skyrim 😛
Fatshark also did the branch off game of WotR called War of the Vikings which was even better (imo) then Roses. Looking forward to what this game will be like, alongside the Mordhiem and up coming Total War Warhammer. Nice to see Fantasy getting as much digital love as 40k was.
