If there’s one thing that isn’t lacking in Warhammer Vermintide 2 is dead bodies. That’s why the new career for Sienna, her fourth, makes perfect sense in the context of Fatshark’s dark fantasy first-person action game. The Necromancer career was announced during gamescom 2023 and will release on Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on October 19.

The new cinematic trailer below sets the mood for the upcoming career, as twin sisters Sienna and Sofia start a skirmish where the former ends up inheriting powers allowing her to raise the dead. There are no details on how this class plays or what kind of skills she has, but an in-depth look should be revealed the closer we get to the launch date.

Joakim Setterberg, Lead Game Designer on Vermintide 2, had this to say about the reveal of the Necromancer class:

We really wanted to surprise our players with something unexpected yet plausible for Sienna, with a new play style based on Necromancy in the Warhammer Fantasy universe.

Warhammer Vermintide 2 released in 2018 and still holds a very respectable player base, one that has seen many content throughout the years, such as five additional adventure map campaigns, two game mode expansions, and four new careers, with more to come in the future.
