Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is just as brutal and gorey as the devs promised and many players are neck deep in the guts of their enemies. The game is so brutal that mods were created within the first day of release to tamper with the difficulty levels over on the PC platform, and now Xbox players will get a chance to see for themselves - and soon!

Originally, both Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players were supposed to get the game for themselves earlier this Spring, but unforeseen circumstances prevented that from happening by the desired drop date. Still, the Producer for the game, Robert Backstrom, recently told GameReactor that there's no reason to worry because yes, it's still happening and yes, the beta will be going live soon!

He told the site, "We're really close to release. We've got a beta coming to the Xbox One now, through the Insider Program, and it's starting any day now in the next few weeks.Vermintide's release on Xbox One will be this Summer, with PlayStation 4 to follow. I would say we're almost there, but we want to use the beta to get the final touches right for the console version. The first game was more of a port, now we want to do something better."

We'll take better, especially when reflecting how well the first one did! He also mentioned that they are working on "native 4K textures" for the Xbox One X version, and better frame rates overall for everyone. We still don't have a date yet, but we know it's coming - and that's something, at least.

According to the game's official description:

Vermintide is back – darker, bloodier and more intense than ever!
