VERMINTIDE 2 CELEBRATES SIXTH ANNIVERSARY BY OPENING VERSUS ALPHA TO ALL GAME OWNERS

Fatshark :

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, March 7, 2024. Today Fatshark celebrated Warhammer: Vermintide 2’s sixth anniversary by opening the doors to their new alpha version of Versus, available to all owners of the game on Steam.

Vermintide 2: Versus allows players a new chance to play in Fatshark’s new PvP+E game mode, with teams featuring the heroes from the beloved Ubersreik Five and Skaven specials.

“For the next test, you will play on a new map, see the addition of premium careers, get kick and mute options, see a match score screen, and Versus specific menu settings,” said Joakim Setterberg, Design Director for Vermintide 2. “We’re also aiming to do the next test directly in the Vermintide game and not on a testing app, and for this reason, we’re adding a title screen, just like for consoles, with shortcuts to Adventure, Chaos Wastes, and Versus.”

Versus is an asymmetric 4v4 PvP+E game mode that pits the Ubersreik Five against AI enemies and up to 4 player-controlled Skaven specials. Teams switch sides, competing for points over multiple sections and rounds.

In addition, all platforms will participate in the game’s annual anniversary challenges, featuring a special map for adventure mode, and a new portrait frame for players to kit out their characters.

The anniversary event and Steam-only Versus alpha test runs March 7 to March 18 for all owners of Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
