Indie development studio Fatshark has released the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming first-person action adventure game Warhammer: Vermintide 2. The game is the direct sequel to the first Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide game.

The new game is said to revisit the fierce first-person co-op slaughter-fest featuring visceral and ground breaking melee action, set in the apocalyptic End Times of the war-ravaged Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.

The five heroes from the first game have all returned to take on an even greater threat: the combined forces of a malevolent and destructive Chaos army and the swarming Skaven horde.

Players can choose between 15 different careers, climb the talent trees, customize their arsenal to fit their unique play style, fight their way through a myriad of stunning levels, and challenge themselves in our new Heroic Deeds System.

The game will feature co-op multiplayer functionality that will allow up to four players to play together.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2018 for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
