Since its launch last Tuesday, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 has already sold more than 500,000 copies on PC via Steam. As part of their celebration for their fastest selling game ever, Fatshark has announced that they sold just that many copies, but they’ve also announced that over 204 million minutes have been watched on Twitch, with more than 50 billion enemies slain, and the team at Fatshark being 100% proud of the game’s reception.

“We are proud and happy that gamers worldwide have taken Warhammer: Vermintide 2 to their hearts,” says Martin Wahlund, CEO Fatshark. “500,000 games sold was a milestone that we had, but not less than a week after release.”

As part of their push to help the game continually growing, Fatshark has even stated that their game remains a visually stunning spectacle, one that’s filled with groundbreaking melee action, which pushes the boundaries of the first person cooperative play genre. If you haven’t, you can head over to Steam to pick up your copy now and even join some of our own team members here at Blast Away the Game Review while we work on our review in progress.
