Looks interesting.

Colour me interested. I like the 40k universe a lot.

Tombstone · 23 Jul 2020 at 18:05

Made by the folks behind Vermintide and I loved that, so its straight onto my wishlist !

Move over cyberpunk 2077 i have a new game at my top spot i want

Random Guy Esq. · 23 Jul 2020 at 18:40

The Vermintides were great fun. I'm down for this.

Reppyboyo · 23 Jul 2020 at 18:52

About damn time we got a decent 40k based game...hopefully.

Teaf · 23 Jul 2020 at 19:05

Looks good, but I'll hold my breath as most Warhammer games are garbage; it's rare to see a good one.

Added to wishlist.

Fatshark did a fantastic job with the Vermintide games.

Edit - Wonder if Games Workshop will use this as a cash in to bring some new armies to 40k.
Space Skaven? Or bring back the Squats?

We need Space Bardin and Space Cousin Okri!

Colour me excited. Vermintide games were polished and well put together. I prefer the 40k setting so I'm all ready for this. 2021 though

Vermintide was/is great, but its USP is its melee-centric combat. This looks like another (presumably ammo-limited) shooter, while in the cool 40k universe, so what's separating it from the other coop wave-survival shooters like GTFO, Payday, etc?

McPhee · 23 Jul 2020 at 22:05

Looking forward to this. Play a lot of Vermintide 2.

Got to admit though, I kinda wanted to see a "Vermintide" game or DLC with Orcs and Gobbos. As above, it's the melee combat that really makes the game. Like Left4Dead meets high fantasy.

+1
That's exactly my thoughts when I saw this linked on a Discord yesterday. Love what I've seen of the 40k universe but wary that it might lean more towards gunnery than melee - which is what was so great in Vermintide. Granted even if it was gun heavy I'm sure it can still be fun, I hope all the playable characters are interesting like Vermintide!

The fact that it's Warhammer seems like a big first obvious & powerful distinction that shouldn't be glossed over. No doubt it will have its own spin on the gameplay as well. We only saw a teaser.

guess it will be 40k GTFO (Payday with monsters) with Vermintide 2's really slow looter-shooter/crafting-material grind (that eventually put me off it for being so slow)...

Zeeflyboy · 24 Jul 2020 at 13:00

I liked the trailer a lot - good mix of beautiful animation, atmospheric environment and humour.

Very interested to find out more about this one!

ryhoper1 · 24 Jul 2020 at 13:05

I really liked the atmosphere and look of GTFO but the gameplay was garbage, hopefully this is better.

Deus Ex · 24 Jul 2020 at 13:30

Added to my wishlist.

Ollie83 · 24 Jul 2020 at 13:54

This looks good to me. Maybe a bit of Left 4 Dead style 4 Player co-op by the looks of things.

That's exactually what the Vermintide games are, with a heavy enthasis on melee combat.
Honestly, If you love L4D, you need to have a look at them.
