Winds of Magic - Season 2 & Beyond
Heroes,
Season 2 will bring several things to both Vermintide and Winds of Magic. But before we dig into the changes we wanted to thank you once more for your feedback, we have heard you loud and clear. We designed these changes with the feedback from the forums, Reddit, Discord and social media together with the in-game telemetry from the last month in mind.
We are committed to improving the game and during the past weeks we have pushed many smaller patches to address the most common issues, thank you for your patience!
Warhammer: Vermintide 2
Reworked levels from Vermintide: End Times - Drachenfels DLC
As a part of Season 2, we are going to revisit the dreaded abandoned castle in Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide’s Drachenfels DLC. Something appears to have taken a liking to the castle and our heroes have to once again visit the castle to learn more about what’s happening in this all-new storyline. We are aiming to release 3 reworked levels from the Drachenfels DLC during Season 2. The first part of Drachenfels will be released at the start of Season 2, and the following 2 levels later during Season 2.
All Drachenfels levels will be free to all owners of Warhammer: Vermintide 2!
Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders
We are introducing an in-game shop where you will be able to purchase cosmetics for in-game currency. There will be fancy hats, skins and other cosmetics for you to pick between. All content will not always be available, but instead will return from time-to-time as featured items.
Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders will arrive with the start of Season 2 in Winds of Magic.

Winds of Magic
We are committed to evolving the Winds of Magic and for Season 2 wanted to talk about some of the bigger changes to the Weaves, as well as how we reward essence for playing. We have been looking at how best to address your feedback and believe we have something worth bringing to life for the next Season, we hope you agree.
Leaderboards and Progression
We previously announced that we were taking some time to tweak the specifics of how this will work and we are now able to share the details with you. All of your Season 1 Athanor progress will carry forward into Season 2.

Weaves
Quickplay Weaves & Essence
In Season 2 you will be able to quickplay into unranked Weaves in a similar fashion as you currently quickplay into an adventure level.
We will be changing how essence is rewarded. We will be removing the first time completion bonus from Ranked Weaves however we will be increasing the base amount of essence gained from playing them. In addition to this, playing Quickplay Weaves will grant bonus essence. You will also continue to gain essence from playing Adventure missions.
