Return to the Reik, the newest addition to Vermintide 2, is coming out on November 20! In case you missed it,check out our dev blogon the level and sound design of it!
This map is a re-imagining of the Vermintide 1 level ‘The River Reik’. Our Heroes must re-tread their steps as they return in search for one of Kruber’s family heirlooms. But much has changed since the last time they were here, and now Ratmen aren’t the only dangers lurking in the dark…
I notice a pattern. Each of the last free dlc map sets have more or less focused on a specific character. Bardin and Heda, Sienna and Sofia, Kerillian and the elven temple, now Marcus and a lost heirloom. Maybe Saltzpyre will get a subplot at some point?
I sure hope that after these maps that there are plans to do a weapons DLC; just adding variants of weapons with alternative movesets like Darktide has the potential to add thousands of hours of enjoyment. Adding a few new enemy types to flesh out Beastmen, Skaven, and Chaos could add a lot more flavor and unique experiences for years to come.
Maybe some more chaos wastes maps so it’s not the same handful of maps everytime.
