Independent Swedish developer Fatshark Games (Escape Dead Island) on Thursday announced a new Warhammer game for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Due out in the second half of 2015, the game is officially called Warhammer: End Time – Vermintide. It’s a co-op game that combines first-person shooter elements with melee mechanics. These come together to make Vermintide a “visceral” experience, Fatshark says.
Vermintide is set in the the besieged city of Ubersreik. Players choose from five unique heroes with different play-styles, abilities, gear, and personalities, and must work together to fight off the rat-like Skaven enemies.
The game is set in the End Times of the Warhammer universe, and Fatshark CEO Martin Wahlund says Vermintide will “stay true” to the well-established lore, including familiar foes and locations.
