Vermintide 2 is about to get a whole lot bigger. Developer Fatshark says the 15 new maps that are coming along with the Chaos Wastes update represent more area than the original 13 maps the co-op game originally shipped with back in 2018. With loads of new modifiers and a new expedition mode, Chaos Wastes could be the biggest addition Vermintide 2's ever seen.
"It's massive," Vermintide 2 narrative designer Marten Stormdal tells us. "We did some napkin calculations earlier today, and I think by area, it's larger than the base game." The new levels all are set within the Chaos Wastes, and the Ubersreik Five (or Four, depending on how you're counting) are traveling through them on their way to the Citadel of Eternity. It's a place Victor Saltzpyre has heard about in whispered rumours, a place where one might converse with the gods.
That's important, because the Warhammer End Times are at this point getting extremely end-timey. Vermintide 2 has always been about the final days of Warhammer's Old World, and the cracks in it are really starting to yawn. In Chaos Wastes, our heroes are making a last-ditch attempt to stave off the apocalypse by calling a meeting with the gods of just about anyone else who's willing to listen.
