7 years of Tide

Heroes!

November 30th marks the release of our next game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, an intensely brutal cooperative game set in the Warhammer 40,000 world. This release will be the 3rd installment of “Tide” releases over the past 7 years and adds to the already critically acclaimed Vermintide series.

Throughout November, leading up to the release of Darktide, we'll host activities and updates to celebrate its launch. This includes a free copy of Vermintide 2*, a free update to Vermintide 2 (Trail of Treachery DLC), access to play Darktide early for pre-order players, and a free download of the Devoted Rejects DLC for all Vermintide 1 or 2 players who jump in and play Darktide.

For all the information on the promotions and events, please visit the dedicated space on Steam celebrating '7 Years of Tide':

Geheimnisnacht is live now!

[h2]Heroes, the most ill-omened night of the year is upon us![/h2]

Between October 26 - November 6, Geheimnisnacht returns to Vermintide 2 on all platforms. Remember to visit a ritual site, collect the Skull of Blosphoros, and survive the remainder of the mission(s) in order to earn new time-limited rewards.

All players playing during Geheimnisnacht will also earn Double XP!

Patch 4.7.3 released for PC earlier this week is a 'remaster' patch, which results in a larger download size (~43.1 GB) whilst ultimately saving around ~25 GB on disk after the update is complete

Disrupt the ritual and secure the Skull of Blosphoros for an extra challenge. Select your courier with caution as there is no second chance of picking up the Skull during that mission once it has been lost.

While traversing the Reikland, you might encounter Nurglings. They're known to cause mischief, giggle, and rarely come in small numbers. Hopefully, they scatter quickly!

During Geheimnisnacht you can earn new unique time-limited rewards by completing the themed quests. New weapon illusions and portrait frames are awaiting those brave enough to complete the challenge.

[h2]4.7.3 Patch Notes[/h2]

Keybindings can now be bound to up to two different buttons. Keybindings can now be cleared by right-clicking them. A single key can now be bound to several actions (eg. R for reload and weapon special).
Chaos Wastes mission modifiers should no longer display #NAME?.
Fixed an issue causing bright light exposure when multiple mutators were active at once.
Fixed a lighting issue that could occur when night mode or the darkness mutator was active.
Fixed an issue where cosmetics would occasionally appear to be missing.
Fixed an issue where Sienna's (Battle Wizard) 'Fire Trail' would deal more damage than intended
Fixed various crashes.
