A free update with a brand new map and a new enemy type!
Heroes!
The fourth and final part of the Karak Azgaraz saga - A Parting of the Waves - is out now on both PS4 and Xbox One, free for all owners of Vermintide 2!
Join our Heroes on their bonding exercise, as they try to work through their quarrels and chase the fleeing Skaven to a gloomy whaling village, ravaged by storm and something sinister…
In addition to the new map, this update sees the introduction of a brand new enemy: the Chaos Warrior with Shield! This new enemy will show up alongside in any mission with Rotblood’s presence.
As a final note, expect a hotfix in the coming days with some tweaks and fixes that couldn’t make it in for release.

Thanks for the new content! Out of curiosity, will there be new achievements for this new map on Xbox? There don’t appear to be any yet, but wasn’t sure if they are just delayed, or if there won’t be any.
Hope you enjoy it! I’m afraid there won’t be any new achievements for this particular new map on Console, no. There’s still new Okri’s challengs, however!
Since the update on consoles, me and my friend tryed approximatively 10 games in the space of 2 hours~.
We had 10 crashes in total, 4 for my friend and 6 for me. It varies from 4sc to 10mn into the game.
We are both on PS5 and everything was fine until this update.
Sorry for the inconvenience and please hotfix this, we have 1k+ hours on this game and we want to continue to have fun with it.
Edit : Both on Heroic acts and normal games, and the new map too.
Hi
The situation is similar with crashes. The situation is similar with crashes . Please do something with them, otherwise what’s the point of releasing content if no one can play it? With great respect
Hello, thank you for the update, the crashes these other people are experiencing arent exclusive to PS4, PS5 is the same with constant crashes. My eight friends would love to play the update, hopefully you guys can fix it soon.
I state that I have not yet been able to try the game after this update because I am traveling for work.
I was afraid you would release the game without having tried it on the platform in question (PS4, PS5, Xbox X/S series or Xbox One).
You have already communicated that you will make a further update that I imagine will be similar to what you have done for PC/Steam players. Too bad that it usually takes a long enough time to have an update on consoles.
It is confirmed as much as I think, we who play on consoles do not receive the same attention. It was better to wait a few weeks, check for problems on PC and then proceed to the consoles.
I hope to be able to play without the constant crashes I read.
So, my friend tested something on PS4, he loaded a level (forgot which one) and didn’t move at all from the start (no enemies spawn till you pass a certain point), he left it over an hour and had no crash, till he touched the controller and attempted to move forward, instant crash.
For anyone suffering from crashes, I ask that you all head over to Technical Support - Fatshark Forums if you haven’t already and report your crashes to our support folks, with as much information as possible. The more info we have, the faster we can get these crashes solved.
We’re cooking up a hotfix with a bunch of fixes that will hopefully be arriving soon! Nonetheless, please do report any issues you notice and any crashes you suffer.
