Indie-developer Fatshark has finally announced Warhammer: Vermintide 2’s release date on the Xbox One.  Drumroll please: Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will be available on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft on July 11th 2018.

Vermintide 2 is a visually stunning and groundbreaking melee action game pushing the boundaries of the first person co-op genre. Set during the apocalyptic End Times of the Warhammer world – the game introduces the dark, bloody and twisted forces of Chaos as an enemy faction. Other new features include 15 hero careers, new environments, talent trees and the proprietary Heroic Deeds System.

But that was not all the news. As a surprise to some, there is an open beta which actually begins today via Xbox Insider Program, and is open to everyone.

Fans can now pre-order of the Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Premium Edition (Pre-order here). Why is there no ability to pre-order the standard edition you ask? Well, that is a great question, and we have a great answer for you.  The standard edition will be available via the Xbox Game Pass program, so it will be free with your subscription.

Oh, and one more quick tidbit. The game is Enhanced for Xbox One X and supports Native 4K on the mid-gen upgraded system. Check out a trailer highlighting the game below:
