[h2]Happy 4-Year Anniversary![/h2]

Heroes, we‘ve come far and slain many a Skaven and Rotblood along the way. The 4-Year Anniversary of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is now live on all platforms! Between March 8 - March 21 all players can play the celebratory level ‘A Quiet Drink’, and on March 15 the Quality of Life update will go live on PC.

Keep a close eye on our social media, PC launcher, and website throughout this week to learn more about the upcoming Quality of Life update, new Premium Cosmetics, and more!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for playing our little rat-smasher, Warhammer: Vermintide 2. We’ve said it before, but it deserves to be said again: your support is invaluable to us and we want to assure you that there are more great things coming!

This Friday, March 11 at 2 pm CET, Community Manager Asqhy will be taking you through some of the goodies coming in the Quality of Life update on March 15.

Live on all platforms
The 4-Year Anniversary will run across all platforms from March 8 - 21. All future Vermintide 2 anniversaries will happen on all platforms at the same time. This means that the previous Xbox and PS4/5 specific events will happen simultaneously to PC on or around March 8.

A Quiet Drink
Follow the heroes out on the town in search of the famous Bugman’s XXXXXX. Let’s hope that the Skaven and Rotbloods don’t stir up too much trouble.

Quality of Life Update
Throughout the week you will find out more about the Quality of Life update. Which is our 4-Year Anniversary gift to you! The update contains features inspired by some of your favorite mods, new Premium Cosmetics, and more!

Hello! We’re Fatshark, and we’re a game studio that creates four-player co-op games such as Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. We’re looking to learn more about how our players and community members felt about our content releases in 2021 and what content they’d like to see in Vermintide 2 in the future.

• This survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete
  
• Most of this survey is multiple choice and will walk you through our content that we released in 2021.
  
• This survey may be used to influence how we approach the community and game in the future.
  

Thank you! We really appreciate your input!

Throughout February, there will be some intermittent interruptions of the (now legacy) tech that drives Twitch Mode in Vermintide 2. This will ultimately lead to a “permanent” shut down on the last day of the month. We still have some work to implement the changes needed to retool the Twitch Mode to work with the new tech in place.

As soon as the changes are implemented and verified on our side, we’ll work to hotfix the issue for our PC players. There will be a more protracted downtime for our players on PlayStation and Xbox as we will likely place fixes into the next content updates on those platforms.

Twitch have published the schedule for the planned downtimes of this service:

• February 9, 2022 – 2-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT (8:00 pm CET)
  
• February 14, 2022 – 4-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT
  
• February 16, 2022 – 6-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT
  
• February 21, 2022 – 24-hour shutdown starting at 11:00am PDT
  
• February 28, 2022 – Permanent shutdown
  

We truly understand how important Twitch mode is, whether you’re a Streamer or just enjoy the extra spice Twitch Mode delivers in your games. We will do all we can to minimize the interruption to the game mode and keep you updated on this situation as soon as we’ve got more info to share.
