What happened to Vermintide 2's Versus Mode?
While the devs did not outright state that the game mode was cancelled, I think I can safely guess it was. After the announcement of Versus Mode, Fatshark released Winds of Magic, BBB, Drachenfels maps, new careers, Chaos Wastes, UI overhauls, mod implementation, new weapons, new cosmetics, not to mention the upcoming game Darktide. Fatshark has a lot of other things on their plate. What caused them to abandon Versus Mode though?
It's been three years since the trailer reveal and the dev blogs. Let's collect what clues we have and theorize what happened.
