The highly anticipated second part of A Treacherous Adventure, titled Tower of Treachery, is now free to all Warhammer: Vermintide 2 owners. Console players can expect the release in early Quarter 2, 2023. This exciting update brings the Ubersreik Five back to familiar territory to stop the sinister Sofia Fuegonasus from spreading corruption throughout the Grey Mountains, Bretonnia, and the Reikland.
Tower of Treachery challenges players to navigate through the traps and illusions set by Olesya and Sofia, ultimately facing off against the most formidable foe in the Warhammer: Vermintide series yet. Can you reach the top of the tower and save the lands from doom?
