After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: Northgard.

The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods. That is, if they can survive the dire wolves and undead warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive winters so harsh even the boldest Vikings will shiver!

To conquer the new world and become its master, the explorers have different strategies to lead their clan to greatness: explore, trade, or defeat your enemies in battle.

In Northgard, the player takes control of a Viking clan who arrive on unknown and unforgiving shores, where they have to establish their village, gather resources, grow their society and defeat their opponents. In their quest to conquer a new and mysterious world, clans will face off against undead warriors, giants, dragons and other foes while surviving the harshest environments.

The multiplayer mode has been one of the features most requested by the community since Northgard launched into Early Access back in February 2017. Up to 6 players will now be able to determine who truly has the favour of the gods by fighting against each other, either in teams or in intense ‘free-for-all’ matches.

Along with the new multiplayer mode, this new update brings two new combat units and the buildings required to hire them to Northgard, offering a wealth of new strategic possibilities to players. They are now able to recruit the powerful but fragile Axe Throwers, the first ranged unit of the game, as well as the Shield Bearers, a strong defensive unit designed to protect your troops against enemy ranged units and watchtowers. Finally, in order for players to enjoy these new features in their own language, a new localisation update allows the game to be played in 3 more languages: Simplified Chinese, Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Northgard is available for download through Steam Early Access for $19.99.
