Spring of last year, Games Workshop and Fatshark released Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and since then, the developers have been hard at work bringing players regular updates to keep the game fresh and functional. More than a year has passed since then and the team are finally launching the very first expansion for the game titled Winds of Magic. Slated for arrival in August, players will encounter a new faction of Beastmen, tons of new content to explore, and a game mode.
