‘Vermintide 2’ Expansion “Winds of Magic” Out August 13th, Pre-Orders Available
Developer Fatshark today narrowed down the August release of Winds of Magic, the new expansion to Warhammer: Vermintide 2, to August 13th. The devs also announced pre-orders for the expansion, which includes Beta access.
In other words, you’ll be able to play the expansion before its officially released.
You can currently pre-order the expansion for PC on Steam. No word on when the expansion will come to consoles, however.
In Winds of Magic, a meteor crashes down in the Reikland, a new enemy faction known as the Beastmen rush to the epicenter to claim it as a Herdstone. It is up to the five heroes to stop them.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
