Indie developer Fatshark has revealed Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, a new coop FPS and melee action game in Games Workshop’s Warhammer universe.
Vermintied will see you joining a five hero party to defend the city of Ubersreik from the threat of the Skaven. Fatshark promises that the game will give players a new perspective in the Warhammer universe.
You can read the premise here.
The time of mortals is ending, and the reign of Chaos draws ever closer. The Dark Gods are at last united in a singular purpose, loosing their madness across the world as never before. In the Empire of Sigmar, Karl Franz’s gaze is focused on the incursion of the savage northmen, but it is not the only threat. As the Chaos moon Morrslieb waxes full, shrill voices echo through tunnels gnawed far beneath the Empire’s cities, and a Skaven host swarms towards the surface. It emerges first in the city of Ubersreik, a screeching mass that consumes all before it. Soon Ubersreik is a charnel-town, drowning beneath the malevolent shadow of the Horned Rat.
Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to light the way. As Ubersreik cowers, five heroes, united by capricious fate, carry the fight to the rat-men. It remains to be seen whether they have the strength to survive, let alone work together long enough to thwart the invaders. One truth, however, is beyond all doubt: should these five fall, then Ubersreik will fall with them.
The game joined the ID@Xbox program, so it’s hitting Xbox One first, but it will also be hitting Playstation 4 and Windows. The game will be releasing withing the first half of 2015. You can learn more from their official site here. You can also watch the trailer below.
