In the year 985 AD Eric The Red makes a discovery on his voyage to Greenland that would forever change history. Encased in the Sermitsiaq Glacier he finds ancient eggs that, when thawed and hatched, produced creatures that hadn't walked the Earth since the dawn of time.

Dinosaurs help build the settlements of Greenland and is brought back to Scandinavia to be domesticated and later bred for war.

In 1002 The King of Denmark, Sweyn Forkbeard, launches the first dinosaur-powered conflict with his invasion of England, shocking the defenders and forever altering the course of history.

The English King, Æthelred the Unready, is fighting a loosing battle against the invading forces. He sends his son, Edmund Ironside as a last resort to defend his Kingdom and learn the secrets of these great beasts.

As you take command, you'll gather resources, hunt and tame the land. You'll use your resources to build a thriving settlement, attracting villagers and automating resource gathering and production. You'll construct and upgrade specialist buildings that'll keep your growing population happy and ready to be trained and enlisted in your army.

Construct fortifications and man the ramparts as the enemy attacks with an arsenal of fierce dinosaurs. A shocking new age in medieval warfare. Participate in these battles with strategic commands to your troops and keep your own sword and bow ready. Dinolords merges the strategy of RTS with the immersion of an Action RPG in a brew that's both nostalgic and entirely new.

A shocking new age in medieval warfare.

Ghost Ship Publishing and developer Northplay are excited to announce that Dinolords is opening its gates for a Closed Alpha Test. Eager adventurers can register their interest in the Closed Alpha now via the game’s official Steam page, where accepted applicants will be amongst the first to get hands on with the dinosaur-driven title from October 31st.

In the Dinolords Closed Alpha Test, players can take up a sword and ride their trusty dinosaur into battle, experiencing a taste of the game ahead of its Early Access release in 2026. A three-part tutorial immerses players into the world of Dinolords, easing them into a blend of strategy and action-packed combat. Once ready, they’ll charge into battle, tackling four distinct maps and two different game modes to test their “hack’n’strat” skills. Players can also try their hand at establishing their own military stronghold, utilising different systems, like base building, combat strategy, and unit control, to better prepare for action.

As part of the Closed Alpha Test, players will be able to share their feedback through a questionnaire, shaping the future of the game to build the best possible experience for its launch next year.

“We are thrilled to be giving our community a chance to get their first hands-on experience with the game”, said Michael Flarup, CEO of Northplay. “Dinolords is our chance to bring a unique blend of genres to players, and with the Closed Alpha Test, give them a taste of what to expect when the Early Access release launches next year. We are excited to hear what our player base thinks of the game and look forward to the feedback received to help shape Dinolords into the best possible title it can be.”
