    Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide (PC/Xbone/PS4)


    Fatshark Announces Visceral PC and Console Combat Co-Op Game - Warhammer®: End Times VermintideTM

    Independent developer Fatshark announced today the development of Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, a co-operative action first person shooter and melee combat adventure set in the End Times of the iconic Warhammer Fantasy universe. Vermintide is scheduled for release in the second half of 2015, for Windows PC, the Xbox One, all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program, and PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system.

    In Vermintide, the city of Ubersreik is under siege as players select from a band of five heroes with different play-styles and abilities, all equipped with unique gear and personalities. Working together cooperatively, players must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from hordes of relentless, power hungry Skaven, across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire.

    “Combining gritty combat with cooperative multiplayer action, Vermintide will provide the player with a completely new perspective of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, through the eyes of the heroes they play,” said Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark. “Staying true to the fantasy lore, with familiar foes and locations, we look forward to winning the hearts of enthusiasts and newcomers with this new take on the Warhammer story”.

    The time of mortals is ending, and the reign of Chaos draws ever closer. The Dark Gods are at last united in a singular purpose, loosing their madness across the world as never before. In the Empire of Sigmar, Karl Franz's gaze is focused on the incursion of the savage northmen, but it is not the only threat. As the Chaos moon Morrslieb waxes full, shrill voices echo through tunnels gnawed far beneath the Empire's cities, and a Skaven host swarms towards the surface. It emerges first in the city of Ubersreik, a screeching mass that consumes all before it. Soon Ubersreik is a charnel-town, drowning beneath the malevolent shadow of the Horned Rat.

    Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to light the way. As Ubersreik cowers, five heroes, united by capricious fate, carry the fight to the rat-men. It remains to be seen whether they have the strength to survive, let alone work together long enough to thwart the invaders. One truth, however, is beyond all doubt: should these five fall, then Ubersreik will fall with them.

    What... Why in the world would you take a universe as rich as Warhammer and decide to use fucking rats as the main antagonists...

    Not the highly intelligent Eldar, not the ravenous Tyranids, not the brutal Orks, or even the hordes of mutants touched by Chaos... but... rats...

    Because this isn't 40k. And I would rate Skaven as more than a little mutated by Chaos.

    Just an FYI, this is Fantasy. The Skaven are actually brutal and rather intelligent, but cowardly fucks in fantasy.

    Skaven do everything using Warpstone short of putting their dick in it. And that shit kinda turns normal rats into red shirt Astartes.

    Kinda hyped for Witch Hunter being a playable class. Ordo Malleus is cool and all but Witch Hunters are the heresy OGs and somehow manage to be even bigger ruthless assholes to everyone. Hard to beat a good Racking session followed by being drawn and quartered for passing suspicion of being a Chaos sympathizer.

    This game is really fun, but I really think they should have gone with a Slayer for the dwarf. Something with really shitty ranged and stamina but beastly DW and 2H options. The dwarf character just seems like a copy/paste of the empire soldier. Speaking of which, warrior priest should be an option. A class that only has 1H with no shield as an option but can channel their damage done to healing for nearby allies.
