Heroes and Acolytes!
On this very day ten years ago, we released Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, the very first Tide game! Throughout these years we’ve seen both the games and the community grow, driven by endless passion from both our developers and especially you, our fans! For all the enemies slain, the times shared and the good times, we want to say thank you, and celebrate!
To mark a full decade since the launch of our beloved Tide series, we're unveiling a special anniversary roadmap detailing the content that's waiting right around the corner for both Vermintide 2 and Darktide, including the reveal date for Darktide’s next class.
October 21: Darktide - “Stolen Rations” Special Event (Oct 21 - Nov 10, 2025)
Already live and causing mayhem, the Stolen Rations event introduces Darktide’s first community-versus-community challenge. Players will have to find stolen rations in missions and choose to destroy them or recover them to feed Tertium’s population. Community choices directly shape the event, with the leading decision setting new gameplay conditions each day!
October 23: Vermintide - Geheimnisnacht (Oct 23 - Nov 2, 2025)
Geheimnisnacht is upon us, and the Skull of Blosphoros haunts these lands once more! From October 23 until November 2, you can find foul Chaos worshippers performing vile rituals to awaken this dark master, and it is up to you to stop them!
November 11: Darktide - New Class Reveal
We will reveal the next playable class for Darktide. More details and developer insights will follow in the days after the reveal.
November 20: Vermintide - New map: Return to the Reik
A brand new free level, Return to the Reik is a re-imagining of one of Vermintide 1’s most popular missions, River Reik! Our Heroes will return to these treacherous waters in search of a family heirloom, but things have only gotten worse in the seven years since then, and this search will take them on a voyage full of adventure, fending off ships of both Ratmen and Chaos alike!
December 2: Darktide - Free Update & Special Event (details to follow!)
A major free update arrives December 2, 2025, with a new Operation mission set in the trenches of Atoma and a new time-limited special event. More features related to this update and the special event will be revealed in the coming weeks!
December 9: Vermintide - Gifts of the Wolf Father
Finally, as with every year, the Gifts of the Wolf Father event will go live in December through January for Vermintide! Log in each day to claim a new gift, ranging from cosmetics, to brand new illusions, currency and more! End the year with a jolly celebration alongside us!
Once again, a massive thank you to all of our players! We couldn’t have gotten this far without your passion and support, and we hope you’re looking forwards to everything that’s in store for you, and for our Tide games!
We’ll see you in the Mourningstar, in Taal’s Horn Keep, or both!
