One of the better Warhammer games to come out over the past year or so is Warhammer: Vermintide, a co-op supported first-person action game where you take on rat armies in an effort to bring peace to your land – something that you’re going to need a lot of effort to do.

But if that’s not enough, it appears that the rats are back for more. The team at Fatshark has announced that it’s working on a sequel to Warhammer: Vermintide, and it’ll be even bigger and better.
Warhammer: Vermintide II will be releasing early next year for consoles and PC, and you can find out more in the trailer above, as well as with the details below, provided by the publisher:
“Vermintide 2 is a visually stunning and ground breaking melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. The game introduces the dark, bloody and twisted Chaos as an enemy faction. Other new features include 15 hero careers, new environments, talent trees and the proprietary Heroic Deeds System. Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is heading towards PC and consoles.
‘Vermintide 2 is the evolution of the genre. If you liked the first game, you’ll love the second.” says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark, and continues “We have listened to the community, analyzed hours and hours of online playthroughs, and combined this with our passion for co-op games to bring you the very best experience possible.’
