will there be future classes?
game files, dev road maps, etc. will there be more classes? not looking for specificity around when, or what class, just that the dev has signaled that there will be more classes.

recall that, after release, the devs said something to the effect of one new class per quarter. but, that was before the skill tree overhaul when we were still on the vermintide-style skill trees. with the (in my opinion, successful) release of the new skill trees, where does that leave us for new classes? does the dev view the new trees as 8 new classes (each class has 3 "branches," one of which is the old class, therefore 2 new branches times 4 classes = 8)? or will we still get entirely new classes in the future?

God knows honestly

I’m still hoping for Rattlings! :D

Male and Female, none of this all male Ogryn nonsense. ;)

And I want them to be able to hop on the shoulders of their allies to get better sniper shots!

lol, I doubt it’ll ever happen, but I’ll keep hoping for it! XD
I think not.

They should probably fix all the crippling problems with the game before adding any new classes.

Devs have no say in any of this, Games Workshop holds their IP with an Iron fist (glad they do)

I'm just beseeching the omnissiah for, like, a tech-adept or cult mechanicus acolyte class. Nailed for some minor tech-heresy (dereliction of duty is you duct-taped a flashlight to a lasgun with a bayonet so a guardsman could actually see, misplaced faith was you mixed up a 1 for a 0 in the 32-hour long binary chant and made a servo-skull explode greatly displeasing the Omnissiah, etc)

Psykers get positive unique voicelines with Sefoni where she likes you better, the techpriests could get positive lines with Hadron (and Kayex).

Female Ogryns are all high class cooks on high class hive worlds
with great high class payment.

Why would you try to drag those Ogryn women into the mud? Are you an Ogryn Misogynist?

>Reminder that there's a female Ogryn psyker somewhere out in the galaxy according to lore, during the time the game is taking place

Ratlings are extremely unlikely at this point. They are known for being sneaky and sharpshooters, both things are already filled by veteran.

At most I'd expect some sort of prestige class which you either unlock or buy.
It could come in the form of 4th talent tree branch or 30+ level talent tier.

Either way I don't expect anything not related to existing classes and not sharing part of the weapon pool.

An entirely new class with new rigging, animations and or entirely new unique weapon pool seems really unlikely.

Also, I don't think lore is as much of a factor as people think. Kruber randomly turning into Bretonnian knight is a massive stretch and that happened in Vermintide 2. I feel practical and gameplay limitations (and monetization issues) are way more of a factor here.

fatshark has said additional main classes is unlikely, and have given no indication they will happen.

I doubt it considering how many talents they would have to create to make a new class. If we're lucky we might get a raise in lvl cap and some new talents for our existing classes. I will keep my expectations low. Fatshark already disappointed me enough.

If they aren't gonna add any other classes or anything, why do we get 5 character slots for only 4 classes. Fatshark make it make sense
