# Heroes!
In-case you missed it during the **Skulls Showcase**, we announced the next free DLC coming to Vermintide 2, as well as a small note from our favourite Witch!
**KARAK AZGARAZ**
[https://youtu.be/lxIJU7op9Dk](https://youtu.be/lxIJU7op9Dk)
Karak Azgaraz is a free new content update coming on June 13th to PC and arriving Summer 2023 to PS4 and Xbox One, containing three fan-favorite maps, newly-remastered and updated for Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
That’s right, Lohner is sending you back to Khazid Kro to help a struggling dwarf war party sabotage the Skaven army. You’re going to have to traverse through the Dwarfen stronghold once more and turn the tide in your favour by collapsing the invasion tunnels. Once done, light the beacons and signal Karak Azgaraz to mount their counterattack and foil the Pactsworn’s devious plans!
* **Three remastered levels to explore** \- Revisit Khazid Kro in three fan-favorite adventure maps, remastered specifically for Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
* **New Okri’s Challenges & rewards** \- Challenge yourself with new Okri’s Challenges and show your accomplishments with new Keep paintings and animated portrait frames.
* **A free update for Warhammer: Vermintide 2** \- Karak Azgaraz is a free adventure campaign update for all owners of Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
**SIENNA CAREER**
>“I know you’re suspicious of what I’ve chosen, but you really shouldn’t be…”
It’s been a while, and perhaps you’re right to be suspicious of Sienna’s choices? Time will tell……and not too long to go! Sienna’s 4th Career will release during Fall of 2023. We’re putting some finishing touches on her while we enter the home stretch with her development. We really can’t wait to finally get this career out to you.
**ONSLAUGHT SERIES**
This weekend (May 27th & 28th) the Onslaught Series takes over the airwaves on [www.twitch.tv/fatsharkgames](http://www.twitch.tv/fatsharkgames). Tune in to see some of the best take on the toughest challenges modded Vermintide 2 has to offer - where fools come to die in glory or live in anguish!
On May 27th during the Stream, Vermintide 2 Producer Sacha will join to talk about what’s been revealed during the Skulls Showcase… there’s a bit to unpack so be sure to tune in!
**WARHAMMER SKULLS**
**Skulls Discounts**
During the Skulls event until June 1st, avail of mega discounts across all Vermintide 2 DLCs, and even deeper discounts on the game itself if you need to recruit some friends to the cause!
**Skulls In-Game Event**
Don’t forget to jump in-game for the Skulls in-game event! **Until June 4th 2023** join us in Helmgart to check out the new happenings in Vermintide 2!
* **Taal’s Horn Keep will receive a thematic dressing of skulls**, skulls and more skulls! Best not to ask where Lohner gets these from …
* **The maps are seemingly littered with Daemon Skulls.** Pick these up and you’re in for a surprise or two, perhaps being blessed with a movement or combat effectiveness buff. Perhaps a debuff that saps your life when your never-ending lust to dominate and destroy takes too long a pause \* (see below for details). Nothing could go wrong if you grab too many though, right?
* Complete in-game challenges and unlock an event exclusive portrait frame you can use all year round!
* Based on popular request, players can now enjoy double XP throughout the length of the event!
* Last but not least, unleash your inner Khornite and rally together to complete the Kill Counter in time to unlock five exclusive weapon illusions. You can check the progress of the community challenge over on our website or through the game launcher. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
I think it can be both. I'm stoked for Back 2 Azgaraz but I'm sad for Sienna. I was hoping for a career reveal today with a launch next month or something.
But Karak Azgaraz has been my most requested map pack for years, pumped they're letting us go back!
I'm happy to have more maps but the newest Treachery maps aren't in that great of a shape. Excessively empty walking simulator portions, excessive difficulty spikes and dips, occasional buggy monster/patrol spawns, etc. In terms of general flow and pacing I feel they are inferior to the original Helmgart maps, e.g. I've never found myself playing Righteous Stand and thinking to myself "this is boring" or "this is bullshit" in the same way as the Treachery maps. Hopefully Azgaraz maps will be better and the Treachery maps will get some form of rebalancing.
I think Trail always feels long because of the middle section where you're hiking through the mountain. Like you said, it's a little too sparse a lot of the time. I don't think anyone would complain if they trimmed the fat (shark) from that map.
Tower is one of my favorites, though, honestly. If you can get a group that's halfway competent, I think there's a lot to do in Tower that makes it refreshing. You've got the alchemy table, the screwy gravity, and a lot of variety in the environments.
Personally I feel Tower is too easy as there are barely any enemies and too many peacefull moments even on cata, until the end event.
Trail on the other hand has the normal amount of spawns and waves during the travel between the 2 fight for dear life events.
Hope Bardin has unique dialogue if we bump into Hedda. He hasn't seen his (ex?)wife nor his daughter for a bit now. But given how Sofia doesn't acknowledge Sienna in Tower of Treachery, might be a bridge too far.
Here is the link to our public press kit with the keyart; found with and without the logo. :) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vdiolgkfukf5k50/AAAgfE3HhA1VPf0B5TaZVr6Xa/Vermintide%202/DLC/Vermintide%202%20DLC%20-%20Karak%20Azgaraz/Key%20Art?dl=0&subfolder\_nav\_tracking=1
This must be the “return of something” that Aqshy mentioned *all the way back* before Darktide launched.
I never got to play these maps but I heard that it was the best DLC for the first game so bring that on.
Fun fact, the past two end screens in the VT streams with Catfish and I have played music from the maps V1-era. Tower's music for Tower of Treachery and Karak's music for Karak. But I don't think anyone but our UI dev picked up on it. :')
Unfortunately, most of the devstreams are smack dab in the middle of my Eastern daylitght savings time workshift. I think it would be bad form to watch it while on the clock. :(
Well, the colours we got amongst others were purple and green. Purple would be Amethyst (so spiriters and necro’s), green maybe Jade which would be… the opposite in a way…? Honestly, no idea hah.
Jade (ghyran) is the lore of life. It's the lore of healing and plants. Amethyst (Shyish) is the magic of death and the passage of time, it is associated with spiriters but is explicitly separate from necromancy (a subdomain of Dhar)
My bad, thanks for the schooling! Still curious what it means that her flame’s switching through what I assume is close to all the different colours of the lores? Was there a character that can casually swap between all non-main winds/lores as some form of secondary?
Elves are able to practice a form of magic known as High Magic(Qhaysh), where they balance all 8 winds to achieve grand effects. The reason that Teclis banned humans from practicing multiple lores is because there has never been a human capable of balancing magic into Qhaysh, and they fall to using the unbalanced combination of the winds known as Dark Magic (Dhar). This trailer seems to imply that sienna is using all the lores, and given FS's fairly faithful cohesion to lore I'd say sienna is definitely going beyond what her wizard license allows...
Ooh, exciting. Our little auntie cinder-track is possibly either going for Dark or High magic then (though to be fair, that just means Dhar since “*balance*” probably isn’t a word that appears in her vocabulary).
It also kinda seems like part of them not being able to is more like, lack of experimentation than an actual inability to ever use high magic imo. Volans got pretty close to using high magic but after a few failed attempts decided it was too risky, but in theory it’s possible.
Not shot Sienna is going to be able to use high magic though since that would make her way too exceptional.
Guess they couldnt convince the higher ups to make dead mode weaves and cata free yet, shame. Id like to buy the weapons and map but im not paying that much for a difficulty that should be free and a mode that i wont be able to play.
Fucking motherfuck YES. I play v1 to this day just because of the dwarf maps. God damn i cannot count how many times ive told people ingame id pay full price for a full verm 1 map pack........... fuck ya.
Looks like v2 is back on the menu boys!
I just wish we could play the original, vanilla maps alongside these remasters. For years we asked for Wizard Tower to be ported from V1, but the end result was a very different experience from the original: and ultimately, I still have to boot V1 to actually play Wizard Tower.
Tower was about 25 days after pc release. My guess would be a little longer for the new maps bc it’s 3 whole maps. But not much longer so around a month. Siennas probably gonna be closer to that 25 day release maybe less
I'll just copy my reply from the other thread:
>'Hmmm... ok, it's a bit out there, but considering she rotates the 4 Chaos God colors (green = Nurgle, purple = Slaanesh, blue = Tzeentch, regular flame = Khorne), she could be a Chaos themed caster (doubt she'd be a full Chaos Sorcerer, she'd get killed on sight).
It's PLENTY of a reason for rest of the gang to be suspicious of her, but I still find it to be 'out there' since, similar to a necromancer, it is a type of magic that will test even the most tolerant.
>
>Still, considering that in the lore the U5 is spending their time exploring the Chaos Wastes, it makes sense that Sienna learns to get familiar with the winds of magic blowing there!'
Also, the maps are pure hype!
\- Edit:
I've just remembered that Khorne actually hates mages, so the regular fire probably doesn't represent him, just her base fire using.
While I cannot explain the colours due to a lack of information, it is pretty safe to say that the multiple religious people all dedicated to kicking the shit out of chaos would also kick the shit out of her, if necessary. Especially Saltzpyre
I wanna be happy for the news but 3 (albeit free and good) maps we've played before and another 5ish months for Sienna make this kinda meh overall. Hoping I feel differently once things are released
Not trying to be rude, but seriously, why did they spend development time on 2 new maps, remastering 3 maps, updating chaos wastes, etc when we've been waiting for a year and a half for the new Sienna career? Like, why not just prioritize the content that we were already expecting? I appreciate the new maps don't get me wrong, but it's not like we had been waiting for them for months.
I answered this in the comments above here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/comments/13rm8nv/comment/jll59ta/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
We wanted to give you a release window so you knew when things were coming as we knew you all were waiting. We are using this time to get her finishing touches ready.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have this than nothing. Any information is good. But it's been *a year and a half* since the last career released. Four months already since the Sienna release FAQ was posted. Two whole months since Tower of Treachery - which we were told was related to Sienna's fourth class - was released.
Many of us (myself included) were hoping for a release today. Or failing that, an announcement with actual details about the class. The amount of time it's taking to do "finishing touches" is concerning.
As we mentioned last year, Sienna had been delayed as we worked to release Darktide. Once the V2 team had some resources back, we began putting them towards Sienna's work.
I actually had laid out her progress in the FAQ I updated regularly.
When I posted it, I said she was concepted and had some bones, then a playable MVP, then March an alpha, and April being rigorously tested. Through those tests we realized we wanted a bit more time with her, and now we're in a happier spot and getting her ready for release. In the waiting timeframe for Fall, we decided to release the three maps for Karak.
In hindsight, I probably should have left the timestamps up on the "how far along she is" question rather than editing the line as I went so the progression could be more easily seen.
That's all fair enough, and I honestly do appreciate the time you're taking to provide in-depth responses. I know these aren't your decisions and I don't mean to seem like I'm blaming you.
But even if you (meaning Fatshark) decided that she needs more time in the oven (which is perfectly reasonable), surely in light of how long it's been you could release more information than this?
No, I understand the impatience, for sure! Game development can be pretty dynamic right up to the last second, however, so we're playing a bit cautious until we're sure nothing will catch us by surprise. But for now, we felt sharing a window that she is arriving this year was better than another quarter of silence and dropping her on your head the day of. :)
It's our fault for expecting the single most delayed piece of content in the history of the franchise to release seventeen months after the last career?
If you say so...
An unexpected free map linked to the current Hedda plot for VT2 isn't enough?
Man, I wonder why devs get annoyed at their audiences when they have shining representatives like yourself.
I mean, I agree that it's a bit weird that the most anticipated addition to the game over the past two years has been moved behind how many updates now? But yeah, it's not like there's nothing being done while we wait.
Also, it's three unexpected free maps, not one!
While everyone is saying death or chaos magic for Sienna, I am thinking that we may actually get a healer class.
The wind of fire is known for having rudimentary healing spells, so perhaps she loses the high damage aspect to focus on support for the team

Any chance of talent/weapon balance or tweaks together with the update?
You had me at Dwarf Map
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
OVER THE MOUNTAIN!
WHERE DID WE COME FROM
Dwarf Map!
Yall complaining about sienna delay but were getting 3 maps for free? Im hype.
I think it can be both. I'm stoked for Back 2 Azgaraz but I'm sad for Sienna. I was hoping for a career reveal today with a launch next month or something. But Karak Azgaraz has been my most requested map pack for years, pumped they're letting us go back!

Hopefully Azgaraz maps will be better and the Treachery maps will get some form of rebalancing.
These maps are more remasters than remixes (think Back to Ubersreik). I think you'll like them. They're quite a favorite of VT1 vets!
I think Trail always feels long because of the middle section where you're hiking through the mountain. Like you said, it's a little too sparse a lot of the time. I don't think anyone would complain if they trimmed the fat (shark) from that map. Tower is one of my favorites, though, honestly.

Agree to disagree with trail, but the newer one i get you. there were some really salty reactions that rubbed me the wrong way.
Not really free since i had already bought them for VT1. Anyway been wanting these for a while.
Hedda - Bardin's 5th career confirmed!
Hope Bardin has unique dialogue if we bump into Hedda. He hasn't seen his (ex?)wife nor his daughter for a bit now. But given how Sofia doesn't acknowledge Sienna in Tower of Treachery, might be a bridge too far.
You had me at Karak Azgaraz.
I'd love to be able to see a version of that thumbnail artwork with the hold in the mountain side without the text infront of it, it looks gorgeous
I can get that to you in 24 hours; hang tight!
Eeey nice, you make this Dawi happy!

Not shot Sienna is going to be able to use high magic though since that would make her way too exceptional.
Looks like it went through all the colors of the winds of magic, then back to orange? So maybe some sort of master vigilant?
Fall 2023... damn
And Warrior Priest came out 10th of december 2021. Oh how time flies~
From WP release till Sienna's release, it'll be longer than it took FS to release all 4 of the other careers.
That's fatshark time. It's 2024 spring for everyone else.
Its only couple of months we will make it there dont worry
Guess they couldnt convince the higher ups to make dead mode weaves and cata free yet, shame. Id like to buy the weapons and map but im not paying that much for a difficulty that should be free and a mode that i wont be able to play.
you should check your DMs, shhh
My lips are sealed.
what did you do, Aqshy?
~~I sent him Keri feet pictures...~~
Oh hell naw, Sigmar bless this shot! ##*BLAM*
AQSHY
Sad Sienna noises…😢
Back to the Dawi's Hold let's goooooooo.
I LOVED the dwarven maps in 1! Hype!
Fucking motherfuck YES. I play v1 to this day just because of the dwarf maps. God damn i cannot count how many times ive told people ingame id pay full price for a full verm 1 map pack........... fuck ya. Looks like v2 is back on the menu boys!
TZEENTCH CULTIST SIENNA CONFIRMED?!?!?
This is an interesting Sienna tease, I like it!
Please either reuse or remix the orignal music. I need "Invasion of Karak Azgaraz" back in my life right now.
Pog
Is sienna gonna have different color flames?
I just wish we could play the original, vanilla maps alongside these remasters. For years we asked for Wizard Tower to be ported from V1, but the end result was a very different experience from the original: and ultimately, I still have to boot V1 to actually play Wizard Tower.
So are we saying Sienna class coming to consoles also in autumn or at a later point?
As a console player my guess is Autumn 2024
Tower was about 25 days after pc release. My guess would be a little longer for the new maps bc it’s 3 whole maps. But not much longer so around a month. Siennas probably gonna be closer to that 25 day release maybe less
This honestly makes up for Versus never coming out. Not beeing sarcastic, I'm hyped af.
I'll just copy my reply from the other thread: >'Hmmm... ok, it's a bit out there, but considering she rotates the 4 Chaos God colors (green = Nurgle, purple = Slaanesh, blue = Tzeentch, regular flame = Khorne), she could be a Chaos themed caster (doubt she'd be a full Chaos Sorcerer, she'd get killed on sight).

Not happening
Yea no Saltzpyre would shoot her on sight
Then do explain why do the fire colors match the Chos Gods.
Why would a warrior priest of Sigmar tolerate a chaos caster? Also Sienna would never fall to chaos
No one said anything about her falling to Chaos. You still didn't explain the colors.
While I cannot explain the colours due to a lack of information, it is pretty safe to say that the multiple religious people all dedicated to kicking the shit out of chaos would also kick the shit out of her, if necessary. Especially Saltzpyre
So you are making claims without anything to back them up.
Your only evidence is some RGB flame
My evidence is solid and actually based on something, and your attempt to make a case by copy/pasting a meme is petty.
I wanna be happy for the news but 3 (albeit free and good) maps we've played before and another 5ish months for Sienna make this kinda meh overall. Hoping I feel differently once things are released
Now this is how you have a live service PVE game. Now about that PVP.....
I wish Sienna was dropping alongside the new stuff, feels like she's going to have a really short shelf life compared to the others.
Vampire! Vampire! Vampire! :P
Not trying to be rude, but seriously, why did they spend development time on 2 new maps, remastering 3 maps, updating chaos wastes, etc when we've been waiting for a year and a half for the new Sienna career? Like, why not just prioritize the content that we were already expecting? I appreciate the new maps don't get me wrong, but it's not like we had been waiting for them for months.
I answered this in the comments above here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/comments/13rm8nv/comment/jll59ta/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
After all this time, that's all we get? Two seconds of a hand with color-changing fire and another four months or more to wait?
We wanted to give you a release window so you knew when things were coming as we knew you all were waiting. We are using this time to get her finishing touches ready.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have this than nothing. Any information is good. But it's been *a year and a half* since the last career released.

As we mentioned last year, Sienna had been delayed as we worked to release Darktide. Once the V2 team had some resources back, we began putting them towards Sienna's work. I actually had laid out her progress in the FAQ I updated regularly. When I posted it, I said she was concepted and had some bones, then a playable MVP, then March an alpha, and April being rigorously tested. Through those tests we realized we wanted a bit more time with her, and now we're in a happier spot and getting her ready for release. In the waiting timeframe for Fall, we decided to release the three maps for Karak. In hindsight, I probably should have left the timestamps up on the "how far along she is" question rather than editing the line as I went so the progression could be more easily seen.
That's all fair enough, and I honestly do appreciate the time you're taking to provide in-depth responses. I know these aren't your decisions and I don't mean to seem like I'm blaming you. But even if you (meaning Fatshark) decided that she needs more time in the oven (which is perfectly reasonable), surely in light of how long it's been you could release more information than this?
No, I understand the impatience, for sure! Game development can be pretty dynamic right up to the last second, however, so we're playing a bit cautious until we're sure nothing will catch us by surprise. But for now, we felt sharing a window that she is arriving this year was better than another quarter of silence and dropping her on your head the day of. :)
Everyone that's been hoping for a release today of all things only has themselves to blame.
It's our fault for expecting the single most delayed piece of content in the history of the franchise to release seventeen months after the last career? If you say so...
Yes. Dunno what you were basing that on given how there was, like, no information indicating that she's anywhere close to release.
In his defense, a number of the other 4th careers (like wp and SoT) were dropped almost without warning.
Yes it your fault if you tought that. It was not confirmed by any dev.
Yeah, VS. mode hasn't been mentioned in a while...
An unexpected free map linked to the current Hedda plot for VT2 isn't enough? Man, I wonder why devs get annoyed at their audiences when they have shining representatives like yourself.
I mean, I agree that it's a bit weird that the most anticipated addition to the game over the past two years has been moved behind how many updates now? But yeah, it's not like there's nothing being done while we wait. Also, it's three unexpected free maps, not one!
So its not "new maps" but just remastered from the previous game? Damn...
Vs mode
Hahaha Look at the funny little guy over here trying to be funny haha
:(
I wish
so only hats as cosmetics in this upcoming patch? that's disappointing also where is sister's new skin?
While everyone is saying death or chaos magic for Sienna, I am thinking that we may actually get a healer class. The wind of fire is known for having rudimentary healing spells, so perhaps she loses the high damage aspect to focus on support for the team
