FatShark and Nordic Games have today confirmed that, at last, the sublime Warhammer End Times: Vermintide will finally make the leap from PC to console when the game makes its PlayStation debut on PS4 this October.
Set for release on October 4 in both physical and digital formats, Vermintide is a four player co-operative affair that pits you and your mates against the brutal and endless Skaven menace; an unending throng of massive ratmen who are hellbent on making everything really, really bad.
Played out from the first-person, Vermintide bears a lot of similarity to Turtle Rock Studios Left 4 Dead as players must choose from five different types, each with their own play styles, personalities, abilities and weapons before setting off. Once in the game, the Skaven onslaught never stops as players must work together to repel the horde as best they can all the while completing objectives en route to making their escape.
Boasting all the DLC released for the PC version of the game so far, the console release of Verimintide is looking like it will finally provide PS4 gamers with something that will finally satisfy that Left 4 Dead itch that has been bothering us for years now.
"More than half a million PC gamers have already taken Vermintide to their heart, and this fall it’s time for console players to do the same. The consoles will get an extended version that includes all DLCs released for the PC version to date" says Martin Wahlund, CEO at Fatshark, and continues". We are over the moon to be working with Nordic Games on this release as their experience and expertise are incomparable."
“The combination of Fatshark and Warhammer seems too good to be true. We do have quite a few fanboys in our team, who played Krater, Lead and Gold, and – of course – also played the hell out of Warhammer Vermintide on PC. To say we are stoked to work with Fatshark on Warhammer Vermintide for consoles and the physical edition for PC is the understatement of 2016 in my book” comments Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director at Nordic Games.
Until October rolls around though, you can feast your eyes on the announcement teaser for Warhammer End Times: Vermintide below.
