Heroes!
We're incredibly excited to announce the first expansion for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - introducing a brand new enemy faction and new challenges to the game.

As a meteor crashes down in the Reikland, the Beastmen emerge from the depths of the Reikwald forest and rush to the epicenter to claim it as a Herdstone. It is up to the 5 heroes to stop them before a dreadful disaster strikes the Empire.

KEY FEATURES
  • New Enemy Faction: Beastmen
  • New Higher Difficulty
  • Raised Level Cap
  • 5 New Weapons
  • New Adventure Level
  • New Game Mode: Winds of Magic - Bring your friends and try to complete a new set of challenges with increasing difficulties in the weaves of the eight Winds of Magic.

You can find out heaps more information over on PC Gamer (linked below), and we'll of course be talking more about this in the coming week as we celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary of Vermintide 2.

Fake news. It’s a shield/spear.

They come to the office, we chat, they take notes, and they do a write up. We don’t get to vet the write up before print, it’s up to them to present their notes. My guess is either we Swenglished or they misunderstood/miss-noted. Either way, it’s a Spear and Shield and not a Sword and Spear :smiley:

Interesting, will be fun to test out the spear and shield. Can you comment on the throwing axes for bardin? Will they be able to be picked up after thrown? Or will they work like current ranged weapons, resupplied at ammo boxes.

I believe Martin covered it slightly in the Stream on Monday so hopefully I’m not overstating here, but oh well if I am! The plan right now at least is that they’re recoverable from the game world as opposed to from an ammo crate. Perhaps if they end up off a cliff or out of bounds, they can be recovered from a box or pouch but I’m not sure - that’d be speculation on my part.
