Developer and publisher Fatshark has announced that its 2018 co-op melee combat game Warhammer Vermintide 2 is free to keep until November 24, 2025. The announcement comes after Fatshark released the brand-new Return To The Reik adventure, which brings a fan-favourite map from the first game to the second game in a refined, optimized manner. Fatshark promises 10 years of content for Vermintide 2, and the new update is part of this long-term support promised for it.
Warhammer Vermintide 2 was released back in 2018, and since its release, the developer has released a lot of content and optimization updates for the game. As of now, the game has double the content it had upon its release with free DLCs, quality-of-life updates, and new game modes like the Chaos Wastes and Versus. The latest update arrived in the game just yesterday, and it keeps the developer’s promise alive. Reik arrives back in the Vermintide universe in an expanded form.
Key features of Return to the Reik include:
- Boarding the Dawnrunner yet again: Celebrate 10 Years of Tide as you take the chase to the river: River Reik returns with expanded, boat‑focused gameplay that puts deck skirmishes front and center. Fight across swaying platforms, and use the environment of the barge and riverbanks to turn every encounter into a cinematic, co‑op setpiece.
- A beloved mission with a new identity: This mission is a retake of the Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide fan‑favorite level, blending nostalgia with deliberate changes and new encounters. We’ve added routes, set piece moments, and boat props to give the River Reik mission a distinct Vermintide 2 flavour while keeping the core story beats intact. The result is a familiar yet surprising experience that rewards Ubersreik Five veterans and invites newcomers to discover a classic in a new light.
If you have never jumped into Warhammer Vermintide 2, now is the best time because adding the game will not cost you anything. While Warhammer Vermintide 2 is available on PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, the free offer is only available on PC via Steam.
