  • If you own Northgard and all of the DLC mentioned above, you are not impacted by these changes.

  • If you don’t already own Northgard, you can buy it now with a special launch discount!

More content, like the Valhalla biome and Frostbite Bifrost mode have also been added to the game. We covered these new additions and more in our previous blog.

But we saved some surprises for today!

  • Rig, the King of all clans, returns to the Clan of the Stag for a new fight!

  • Hagen also returns to lead the Clan of the Raven.

  • The leaders of the Southern Kingdom during the Cross of Vidar saga will also be available! This includes Lothaire, Carloman and a new look for Nominoe!

We’ve also made some changes to the Map Editor, as we know there are quite a few vikings out there that enjoy making special maps for others to enjoy! From today’s update scripts can be made independently from a map. This means the same script can be played on different maps in custom games. You can read more about this change in the changelog below under the Mods sections.
