Jesper Kyd scores Warhammer: Vermintide 2

BAFTA-award winning composer Jesper Kyd has been announced as the composer for the sequel to the popular Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide. The games are a part of the Warhammer fantasy world (known especially for the Warhammer 40k), with the most recent installment bringing in the Norse “Chaos” tribe as a new faction to the game.

Because of Vermintide 2‘s new Nordic component, Kyd has created a Viking-inspired score using thematic vocals and percussion, in addition to instruments built specifically for the soundtrack. The game is scheduled to be released early this year; for more soundtrack samples and further information on Kyd’s score, see the soundtrack announcement on Vermintide’s official website.

About the Author

Emily McMillan A native and lifelong Texan, I currently work in software education while contributing news, reviews, and interviews to VGMO on the side. I love the feeling that comes with the discovery of a brand new soundtrack, and always look forward to the next rekindling of that excitement. Outside of VGMO, I enjoy playing piano, listening to classical music and film scores, and trying to go unnoticed in any stealth RPG I can find.
