Next Test For Warhammer Vermintide 2 Versus Mode Starts Soon

Soon, everyone will get to try out Warhammer Vermintide 2 Versus mode
by Tit Krajnik on March 03, 2024   

The new Warhammer Vermintide 2 versus mode is a new, upcoming feature added to one of the world’s most popular co-op games. And while the developers have yet to announce when it’ll be officially released, the second test is said to start soon.

The first round of testing of Warhammer Vermintide 2 versus mode is in the rearview mirror, offering a select group of people to try out the new mode, which was first teased by Fatshark years ago. And while much of it is still unknown, players will get to test out the game again in the second round of testing.
 


When Will Warhammer Vermintide 2 Versus Mode Release?

Warhammer Vermintide 2 versus mode follows the idea of other co-op multiplayer games, such as Dead Space 2, allowing players to fight with other players rather than NPCs. It’s a mode Warhammer Vermintide 2 have long been asking for, and it is closer than expected.

In a developer blog post, Warhammer Vermintide 2 spoke about the past alpha test and the team’s plans for the future.
According to design director Joakim Setterberg over 3600 people on PC and a total of 6056 players have tested Warhammer Vermintide 2 versus mode, playing 2093 games, which have the developers some insight into how the players enjoyed the new game mode and what they still have to fix.
 

“You seemed to have a good time, we got a ton of good feedback, the servers were fairly stable, and we did not see any overly alarming crashes or issue preventing play. In short, we couldn’t have hoped for anything more.”


Based on the feedback received, the developers are aware of four points they need to work on, including:

  • More playable bosses and elites
  • Addition of a training arena for Pactsworm specials
  • More abilities or talents to deepen the Pactsworn gameplay
  • Balancing changes to not favor the Hero side too much

 

Setterberg admitted that high-performing Heros were outplaying the Pactsworn early on in the games, which didn’t come as a surprise considering the players are more familiar with playing as Heros. Still, during the testing, the matches were often very close and the developers believe that Hero team reached the safe zone too often – as such the Pactsworn specials will be getting a damage buff.

Warhammer Vermintide 2 versus mode is still in the very early stages of development and needs a lot of adjustments. Some of those will be added to the game before the second alpha phase, which will launch “very soon”; however, Joakim Setterberg has not shared the exact date yet.
