Fatshark celebrates 10 years of rat-bashing by adding one of Vermintide’s ‘most popular’ maps into Vermintide 2, but ‘things are not as before’

October marked the tenth anniversary of Warhammer—End Times: Vermintide. To celebrate, Fatshark reintroduced the beloved map River Reik in Vermintide 2 as "Return to the Reik," featuring a reimagined layout with expanded side paths, redesigned terrain, additional encounters, and a new sailing section with cannons. The revamped experience is available for free to all Vermintide 2 players, and Fatshark plans to continue supporting the game with more maps in the future.
