I unexpectedly beginning jonesing simply the opposite day for a bout of delightfully grimdark rat-splatting in Warhammery Left 4 Deadlike Vermintide 2. It’s coming as much as a yr since its launch, however I by no means bought round to the assorted DLC to this point.
Perhaps now I’ll wait till the summer time, when the bushy crew referred to as the Beastmen are set to affix the fray in what’s being billed as the very first ‘expansion’ for V2.
The main hot-under-the-collar aspect of the forthcoming Winds of Magic DLC is the introduction of the Beastmen, these horn-headed manimals of Chaos, as a brand new horde of snarling foes for the slaughter. Tiring of cleaving the identical buck-toothed ratfaces in two a thousand instances over in Verm1 appears like a distant dream now.
Devs Fatshark declare that the Beastmen “will be the toughest enemy faction our Heroes have faced”, which, given the overall fodder prior to now was both massive rodents or rag-robed Chaos nutters, just about follows.
The press launch and Steam web page for Winds of Magic aren’t horrible informative, which is maybe as a result of the DLC’s snagged the duvet of the subsequent PC Gamer. The jaunty RPS tribute web site has shared a couple of extra particulars here, nevertheless, together with the information that, unsurprisingly, the Horned Ones’ elite unit would be the Bestigor, who in Warhammer lore is mainly a Beastman++.
There gained’t be a brand new marketing campaign as such, with the main focus as an alternative being on a brand new mode, regarding the titular Winds of Magic. Depending on which of this octet of forces is blowing by way of the map, your gang of fighters shall be each blessed and cursed in numerous methods; the maps themselves shall be remixed considerably relying on the Wind too.
A raised stage cap, a fair meatier problem setting and 5 new weapons are additionally promised. Yeah, I’ll soiled my blade with this, I reckon.
Winds of Magic is due out this Summer – there’s a Steam web page you’ll be able to stare at here, for those who like.
