Fatshark today revealed that since its launch on Steam, Humble Store, Greenman Gaming, and Gamersgate, Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide has sold over 300,000 copies in just over two weeks. To celebrate this Fatshark has now revealed the first downloadable content pack for Vermintide – Sigmar’s Blessing will be available for free to all players on December 3rd.
Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark, said:
“We couldn’t be happier to reach 300,000 sales of Vermintide so far and the player reception and feedback, has left us humbled more than anything. I’m super excited to announce that Sigmar’s Blessing will be free for all current and future Vermintide players, plus, going forward, Vermintide will offer alternating free and paid DLC.”
The free DLC will introduce a number of new features including player control of what loot is dropped in-game and a new altar in the Inn, that provides ways of sacrificing existing loot to improve players arsenal. In addition to this, the DLC will include completely new traits added to the loot tables and new, unique weapon drops in the “red” loot class for each of the 40 weapon types in Vermintide. Each red weapon features a set trait combination, taking top tier gameplay to a new level.
As the press release reads – and aside from this first DLC – Fatshark is separately planning on adding a private mode, for players wanting an even bigger challenge as they face off against the Skaven alone.
“Realism mode is also on the way, removing the game HUD, crosshairs and more to create a truly immersive and authentic (and hardcore!) experience for particularly skilled Vermintide fans. Last but not least, Fatshark will be adding a survival mode to the game, allowing players to take on endless waves of ever-increasing enemies. How long will you be able to last against the deadly Skaven hordes?”

Really? What is wrong with this world?
Yeah whats wrong when that expansion of COD BO2 called COD BO3 sells 550 million of USD dollars but a good indie game sells 300.000 copies. Everybody should be playing COD, even the only game on Steam available must be COD.
And as expected COD BO3 has already sold more than 300.000
http://steamspy.com/app/311210 I am currently playing it. I will finish single player and never touch multiplayer just like what i do with all COD games.
Ah don’t get me started on COD. I never purchased even one copy of that franchise.
i am very happy.Coop is very good on this game.
Game looks so good, What I dont like is the attitude of the developer towards a linux and a Mac version.
Steam spy says it sold 287000
http://steamspy.com/app/235540 Where the other 13.000 sales came from?
SteamSpy is NOT 100% accurate.
Steam, Humble Store, Greenman Gaming, and Gamersgate.
Steam price seems to be 30 bucks (can only see euro version) so that makes 9 million dollars / euros of revenue. If the devs are small they might already be even, or at least they should ultimately break even at this pace. Free DLC should also attract new buyers.
