Being introduced with Update 1.4, the packs will be available in the EA Store at prices of $10 for one, and $15 if purchased together.
"The Verminous Horde" introduces a new feature to Tiers 2-4 of open RvR. The new capture mechanic will, they say, change the game and provide more reason to fight it out in Open RvR.
Skaven are coming with this one as well. The Rat-Like race comes with 4 controllable classes. These include:
Warlock Engineer
Pack Master
Rat Ogre
Gutter Runner
Also in this pack, a new RR65+ dungeon called Thanquol's Incursion. Participating in Thanquol's Incursion will apparently grant players early access to he new content coming with 'The Vernimous Horde".
So for all you Warhammer players out there, I guess we know why you'll be putting your Christmas shopping this year, huh?
