There can be no victory. The darkness always returns.

Legends tell that these words were spoken by Sigmar, the first Emperor. Some believe he had a vision of what was to come, but Sigmar uttered truth not prophecy.

"The darkness always returns. Always."

When the Skaven conquered Ubsersreik, the flame of defiance guttered, the Reikland should have been lost. But heroes arose and the Vermintide was repelled.

Desperate for revenge the Rat Men struck a pact with the barbarians of the Chaos wastes; the worshippers of the dark gods.

Once again the Reikland stands upon the brink.

Once again heroes are needed.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is out now, and to celebrate we have created a new trailer using only game engine footage:

We are so thrilled by the positive reception from so many of you in the betas leading up to this critical point in development, and we cannot wait to continue development of Vermintide 2 in the months and years to come.

Without fans like you, we wouldn't be able to work on projects like this.

Enough waffle from us! Get to Helmgart, heroes. The Reikland needs heroes.

It needs you!

See you in the keep!
