Fight your way through the city of Ubersreik, from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire. Assume the role of one of five heroes, and hack, slash, smash, burn and pierce the vile Skaven using a multitude of weapons. Return to a friendly corner of Tertium later and a gas leak may have driven out the inhabitants, or they might have been replaced by the Admonition. Team up with 3 friends and work together to thin out the ratmens forces and drive them out of the city. As a location to explore, hive cities risk being eternally dingy, but there is potential to mix up the architecture a lot, from grandiose and gothic Imperial buildings, to more utilitarian spaces reminiscent of Alien. A Chaos-instigated pandemic can take down an entire planet if allowed to fester, so the stakes are high in Darktide. It's a good place for Nurgle to do his work. Planetary governors and senior Imperial agents enjoy good living at the top of a hive city's spires, while in the tangled underhive corridors that form the bowels of the city, citizens form gangs and battle for territory.Īmong Tertium's locations are an underground water market, well-lit habzones where the billions huddle close together, a much less well-lit prison, service tunnels that connect the guts of the hive, and the gothic walkways that span its heights. They're vast, layered cities populated by a diverse population of warring gangers, corrupt diplomats, and a few billion hardworking folk who tend to die quite quickly.

So we are working with a system right now that will allow players to have way more freedom than they had in Vermintide to customise their toolkit when they go into a mission." "And since we have a lot of great modders, they also want to tweak individual weapons, talents and other stuff. “As we've seen in Vermintide, players really enjoy tweaking their loadouts,” creative director Anders De Geer told us. One of the other characters hurls a frag grenade to break up a horde at one point as well. The ogryn's sawn-off grenade launcher also doubles as a melee weapon, which is nice. There's also some kind of shotgun or perhaps just a real heavy-duty pistol. Multiple characters in the trailers have autoguns for continuous fire, and there seems to be two lasguns, one a sniper's long-las. That last one may sound underwhelming, but it's a blade the size of an ordinary human being.ĭarktide has more of a focus on ranged weapons than Vermintide, however, and it seems like we'll be modifying our loadout with plenty of those. One of the soldiers wields an iconic 40K chainsword and the other a power sword, the zealot has a thunder hammer, and the ogryn a real big knife. Vermintide 2 will be released July 11 on Xbox One and supports Native 4K on Xbox One X.(Image credit: Fatshark) Just tell me about the weaponsįatshark excel at melee combat, and the gameplay trailer shows some familiar animations for that.
