The newest level for Vermintide 2, Return to the Reik, is out now for free! Celebrate 10 Years of Tide as you take the chase to the river, returning to one of Vermintide 1’s most popular levels!
‘River Reik’ returns with expanded, boat‑focused gameplay that puts deck skirmishes front and center. Fight across swaying platforms, and use the environment of the barge and riverbanks to turn every encounter into a cinematic, co‑op setpiece. Things are not as before, there’s more than just Skaven lurking in these shadows, and even sailing in these waters…
Explore the river bank, board the Dawnrunner, fight off the marauding Chaos and Skaven ships with cannonfire and steel in search for Kruber’s heirloom sword. Find all of the secrets, there’s far more to find in this version of the beloved Vermintide 1 level!
In case you missed it, check out the dev blog on Return to the Reik’s level and sound design here!
To celebrate the new level and 10 Years of Tide, we’ll have double experience gain from any in-game source, starting today until November 30!
