New DLC for the action-melee FPS
A new DLC has been released for Warhammer: End Times Vermintide, as part of Fatshark's latest patch for the popular Steam PC game.
With Warhammer: Vermintide II on the horizon, the developer has been busy tinkering with updates for its predecessor - allowing players to take part in a new quest called 'Waylaid' which is included in the 1.11 patch update. The announcement was made on Fatshark's Steam Community page on February 19th - with brief information on the quest itself.
Set within the Warhammer universe, End Times - Vermintide is a first-person shooter action game, predominantly based on gameplay with either AI bots or fellow players in online co-op, which originally launched in 2015 for Steam PC and consoles in 2016. With music composed by the famous Jesper Kyd, players will be taking on an intense, dark journey as they embark on a series of missions through the city of Ubersreik, defeating rodent-like creatures known as Skaven.
Old Franz Lohner has a new task for you, and it's most likely going to involve slaying Skaven hordes to reach a relic or precious item. Not a lot has been said about what the quest entails, but gamers will learn more by visiting the Red Moon Inn.
