“I’ve been robbed! Can’t trust anyone around here”


Heroes!

Tonight we are pleased to present the latest DLC for Vermintide - Death on the Reik!

The unthinkable has happened! One of the Inn Keeper’s men has stolen some of his dangerous books and run off, with the Skaven in hot pursuit. It’s up to our heroes to find and burn the threatening articles before they fall into enemy hands.

Pursue the thief through the Reikwald Forest, fighting off the Skaven that are in hot pursuit of him. Then proceed along the the River Reik as you attempt to catch up to the barge Dawnrunner, capture the thief and destroy the books before it’s too late.

In this DLC you will also get the Ceremonial Dagger for Sienna Fuegonasus, a fiery blade that allows her to ignite her foes with.

Skaven technology at its scariest!
