After keeping the community at the edge of their patience, developer Fatshak has finally announced the release date of Winds of Magic, the first expansion to their smash-hit co-op action game Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Winds of Magic will release on August 13 for the PC and players will be able to pre-order the expansion from tonight 7 PM CEST onwards to get instant access to the pre-order beta.
“Vermintide 2 continues to grow, and challenge the players in new ways. The Winds of Magic expansion will introduce a new enemy, the Beastmen, as well as new game mode, weapons, and leaderboards.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark.
“We can’t wait to see how we rank up against the players on the leaderboards. Or maybe not?”
The first expansion for Warhammer: Vermintide 2 brings a brand new enemy faction and new challenges to the game. As a meteor crashes down in the Reikland, the Beastmen rush to the epicenter to claim it as a Herdstone. It is up to the five heroes to stop them before a dreadful disaster strikes the Empire.
