Evaluation
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide launched on October 23, 2015 and received a solid run of post-launch paid DLC and free content updates over roughly two years. The final piece of content was the Death on the Reik DLC, which shipped on December 13, 2017, adding two new maps and a new weapon. All 15 DLC entries in the store listing are released, with nothing listed as upcoming.
After Death on the Reik, Fatshark's developer communications for this game shifted entirely toward Vermintide 2, with news posts from late 2017 and early 2018 focused on dev blogs, announcements, and pre-order details for that sequel. The last patch for this game (1.11, released February 19, 2018) was a minor update with bug fixes and a small in-game task tied to Vermintide 2 pre-orders — a clear signal that the original game's development was winding down in favour of its successor, which launched in March 2018. No developer communications, patches, or content announcements for this game have appeared since February 2018. Fatshark has made no statements promising additional content for the original Vermintide.

About this game
Vermintide is a co-operative action first person shooter and melee combat adventure set in the End Times of the iconic Warhammer Fantasy world.

Vermintide takes place in and around Ubersreik, a city overrun by Skaven. You will assume the role of one of five heroes, each featuring different play-styles, abilities, gear and personality. Working cooperatively, you must use their individual attributes to survive an apocalyptic invasion from the hordes of relentless rat-men, known as the Skaven. Battles will take place across a range of environments stretching from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire.
The time of mortals is ending, and the reign of Chaos draws ever closer. The Dark Gods are at last united in a singular purpose, losing their madness across the world as never before. In the Empire of Sigmar, Karl Franz's gaze is focused on the incursion of the savage northmen, but it is not the only threat. As the Chaos moon Morrslieb waxes full, shrill voices echo through tunnels gnawed far beneath the Empire's cities, and a Skaven host swarms towards the surface. It emerges first in the city of Ubersreik, a screeching mass that consumes all before it. Soon Ubersreik is a charnel-town, drowning beneath the malevolent shadow of the Horned Rat.
Yet even in the darkest times, there are always champions to light the way. As Ubersreik cowers, five heroes, united by capricious fate, carry the fight to the rat-men. It remains to be seen whether they have the strength to survive, let alone work together long enough to thwart the invaders. One truth, however, is beyond all doubt: should these five fall, then Ubersreik will fall with them.
