Maybe this year they will add dedicated servers and make the game playable.
Congrats.
Awesome, well deserved! I freaking love this game m/ , real cool to read they are planning a lot of content this year. Unchained + Sienna + Fire Sword + Beam Staff 4L|F3
That’s great! Imagine though if Valve made L4D3. *dream sequence* But until then Fatshark is wrecking it. Hopefully for Vermintide 3 they’ll throw in some more stat and character customization, some more story, items, classes and races.. perhaps a lengthy single player campaign. I really want a AAA title with the L4D formula. My friends and I have been having a blast with Vermintide 2, but it leaves us wanting more. More of the things I mentioned above. We’ve put in 80+ hours, and I can say that’s only because “playing with friends co-op” and “epic FPS guns/hack n’ slash”. I would gladly pay $60 for Vermintide 3 if they add more content to flesh out the world.
100% this ^^^ , damn Man I really hope they do what you said for Vermintide 3 that would be freaking amazing! I think in time and with more funds it is only a matter of time before that happens.
I hate to say it but Valve and L4D3 are dead to me cause that dream died a long time a go 🙁 along with Portal 3 and Half Life 3.
Sort of insane Valve does not higher Fatshark to make LFD3, all well I don’t care we have Vermintide 2 which is an incredible game and World War Z looks solid too(out this year).
*new dream sequence* Valve hires Fatshark to make L4D3. You’re right, and that would be amazing actually.
