Warhammer Vermintide 2 Welcomed 500K New Players in Versus Launch Week
Swedish developer Fatshark has announced that Warhammer Vermintide 2 has welcomed over 500K new players in the launch week of the new Versus PvP mode, breathing new life into the game. Warhammer Vermintide 2 originally launched in March 2018 for PC, then July 2018 for Xbox, and December 2018 for PlayStation 4. By early 2019, it had already surpassed two million players.
Fatshark certainly wouldn't want to waste this new renaissance for the six-year-old game. Indeed, there's a content plan in place, with a new free DLC called Verminous Dreams on the way. The first level will be released on December 9, alongside the Gifts of the Wolf Father event, and other improvements to Versus mode.
