Warhammer: Vermintide 2 just celebrated its third birthday, but the rat-smashing co-op game isn’t done yet. Vermintide 2 developer Fatshark has just announced a new release window for the game’s Chaos Wastes expansion, which was originally supposed to drop sometime last year. The Twitter announcement includes a brief teaser trailer, which you can check out below.
3 years ago today Vermintide 2 was release on PC. We’ve travelled far and wide, with more to come.

For those unfamiliar with the Warhammer mythos, the Chaos Wastes are a hellish frozen tundra that’s home to all sorts of evil gods and Lovecraftian horrors. Back in 2020, Fatshark promised they’d fully capture the weirdness of the Wastes.
That said, don’t expect to be battling any tentacled monstrosities, at least not right off the bat. Chaos Wastes won’t offer any new enemy types initially, although Fatshark are “exploring the possibilities” of adding some down the line.
Hopefully Fatshark can deliver the goods with Chaos Wastes. The last major Warhammer: Vermintide 2 expansion, Winds of Magic, received a somewhat mixed response from fans and reviewers, like Wccftech’s own Rosh Kelly…
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. As mentioned, the Chaos Wastes update arrives sometime in April.
