Please let this be a game! I had visions of a skaven oriented videogame and they are my favourite fantasy faction. (It's a very strange feeling talking on these forums "wiz' out speakin' likez an ork!".)
I didn't even know about Mordheim during that period. I'm a pretty new addition to the WH fandom. I have like one set of orcs who I never even finished painting and I'm just beginning to learn about the different game sets. What I actualy had in mind during that "Skaven game idea period" was something along the lines of Amnesia, but adding different tactics to the game to harrass your pursuers. Something along the lines of opening doors so that your enemies might think you ran through said door, but you hid in the closet before they entered the room. Seeing the screenshots though it's going to be something entirely different and that's still okay to me
Yup, apparently it's a coop FPS like L4D, with 5 playable classes/characters (Witch Hunter being the only one seen on the scans I think, other than the unidentified sword-wielder being played on the first pic). Tavern "hub" where you take missions, with no real link between them. The next 3 hours are gonna be long...
Article: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015...id=563321940161482752&adbpl=tw&adbpr=36969785 PC confirmed: Fatshark Announces Visceral PC and Console Combat Co-Op Game - Warhammer®: End Times Vermintide™ First-Person Shooter and Melee Game set in the End Times of Warhammer, Coming to Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2015 Stockholm, Sweden - February 5, 2015 – Independent developer Fatshark announced today the development of Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide, a co-operative action first person shooter and melee combat adventure set in the End Times of the iconic Warhammer Fantasy universe. Vermintide is scheduled for release in the second half of 2015, for Windows PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. In Vermintide, the city of Ubersreik is under siege as players select from a band of five heroes with different play-styles and abilities, all equipped with unique gear and personalities. Working together cooperatively, players must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from hordes of relentless, power hungry Skaven, across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire. “Combining gritty combat with cooperative multiplayer action, Vermintide will provide the player with a completely new perspective of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, through the eyes of the heroes they play,” said Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark. “Staying true to the fantasy lore, with familiar foes and locations, we look forward to winning the hearts of enthusiasts and newcomers with this new take on the Warhammer story”. The time of mortals is ending, and the reign of Chaos draws ever closer. The Dark Gods are at last united in a singular purpose, loosing their madness across the world as never before. In the Empire of Sigmar, Karl Franz's gaze is focused on the incursion of the savage northmen, but it is not the only threat. As the Chaos moon Morrslieb waxes full, shrill voices echo through tunnels gnawed far beneath the Empire's cities, and a Skaven host swarms towards the surface. It emerges first in the city of Ubersreik, a screeching mass that consumes all before it. Soon Ubersreik is a charnel-town, drowning beneath the malevolent shadow of the Horned Rat. Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to light the way. As Ubersreik cowers, five heroes, united by capricious fate, carry the fight to the rat-men. It remains to be seen whether they have the strength to survive, let alone work together long enough to thwart the invaders. One truth, however, is beyond all doubt: should these five fall, then Ubersreik will fall with them.
