The team at Fatshark is celebrating Warhammer: Vermintide 2’s sixth anniversary by opening their new alpha test of Versus for the PC via Steam.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2: Versus will give players the chance to experience Fatshark’s new asymmetric 4v4 PvP+E game mode. In it, the Ubersreik Five will face off against AI enemies and up to four player-controlled Skaven specials. Note that teams can switch sides as they compete for points over multiple sections and rounds.
In addition, all Warhammer: Vermintide 2 platforms can take part in the title’s annual anniversary challenges. Included is a special map for adventure mode, along with a new portrait frame that can be used to kit out their characters.
Joakim Setterberg, Design Director for Vermintide 2, said the following:
“For the next test, you will play on a new map, see the addition of premium careers, get kick and mute options, see a match score screen, and Versus specific menu settings. We’re also aiming to do the next test directly in the Vermintide game and not on a testing app, and for this reason, we’re adding a title screen, just like for consoles, with shortcuts to Adventure, Chaos Wastes, and Versus.”

Note that the anniversary event and Steam-only Versus alpha test will run from March 7 to March 18 for all Warhammer: Vermintide 2 owners.
The title can be purchased on both PC and consoles:
