Fatshark

Fatshark AB is a Swedish video game developer and publisher based in Stockholm. The company specializes in cooperative action games and is best known for its Warhammer-themed titles developed with Games Workshop.

Founded in 2007 by Martin Wahlund, Fatshark produced its early titles such as Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West before gaining international recognition with the Vermintide series and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide. Vermintide and Vermintide 2 are four-player co-op first-person action games set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, while Darktide is a sci-fi coop shooter set in the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

The studio's games emphasize cooperative play, loot progression, and live-service updates, with ongoing post-launch support and expansions. Fatshark operates as an independent studio but licenses Warhammer IP from Games Workshop for its titles and distributes its games on PC and consoles through digital storefronts.

Notable releases include Vermintide, Vermintide 2, and Darktide, which have established Fatshark as a prominent developer in the Warhammer game ecosystem. The company continues to focus on multiplayer experiences and live-service titles within the Warhammer universe.
