Hi everyone,

We are happy to share that it’s been 5 years since our title Niffelheim was shipped to Early Access on Steam. We’ve been together through quite a lot: there’s been a lot of work on game improvement, a lot of bug fixing, and more! There’s a reason why there are over 40K members in our Steam group, after all.

We’d like to celebrate this milestone with a game update ( ver. 1.0.12) and announce a few more updates on Steam and other platforms. It’s been a while since we got in touch, but there’s a reason: we’ve been busy with the mobile version for Niffelheim. The game will be released on iPhone and iPad as early as 18th May and is already available for preorders. Other mobile devices are in QA right now, and we’re not ready to share the release dates on other platforms yet.

Apart from the current game update, we are planning to work on the initial quests and game balance during this year. We’re also working on a new NPC.

More insight on the current 1.0.12 update

- Healthbars of mobs are displayed over their heads - increased visibility.
- Mobs and characters are highlighted when getting hit.
- Increased (x2) Satiety from all types of food.
- Decreased Satiety spent when digging and cutting trees.
- Improved “Inventory full” message.
- Fixed the issue with an invisible enemy when playing against AI.
- Games scenes are slightly increased to improve interaction with items.
- Achievements “Access denied!” and “Conqueror” has been deleted due to being too challenging.

We’ll do our best to release the update in due time.

Thank you for 5 years of your support and for helping us to develop great games!

Hi folks,

as promised before, today is the day we release update 1.0.10 AKA “Jotuns”. As you can guess from the update title, we have new bosses! But before disclosing more details about what's new in this big free update, I’d like to focus on some other game news first.

First of all: Niffelheim (single player mode only) was released on 20th September (a few days ago) on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch platforms. Over the past six months, we have been working on game balancing and porting to these consoles. So now feel free to congratulate us and play the game on your console. The console release includes the latest update by default.
Also, thanks to the active member of the Niffelheim community Brechler Zsolt, the game is fully translated into Hungarian. Kudos to Brechler for his work and support!


1. We’ve added new bosses who will attack castles – the mighty Jotuns!
2. Also added Repair Kits to allow you to repair currently equipped items.
3. Added scrolls of weapons and ammunition- these are needed to craft cool weapons and equipment. Certain bosses will drop these scrolls.
4. The balance of all weapons has been tweaked.
5. The balance of almost all mobs has been changed. Now the mobs will appear stronger – so you should definitely think twice before start picking a fight.
6. Now almost all armor (except for Hunter’s Armor) can be crafted in workshops. However, you’ll need scrolls for cool swag.
7. All weapons can be crafted in workshops. You’ll need scrolls for cool weapons.
8. The strength of weapons and tools has been increased.
9. Later on, in the game you’ll find it very challenging to kill bosses without potions. (I was able to do this eventually, but definitely not during the first attempt).
10. The chance of getting rare stones from chests of bosses has been adjusted. Some stones will only appear near spiders, some objects - near trolls only, and the witch’s skull can only be found by the undead.
11. Alchemy and kitchen recipes have been changed. Now you will be able to cook pig meat from the first level. Crafting rare potions will now become simpler. As mentioned above – you will need A LOT of potions.
12. Wave timing for mobs and ultimatums, as well as the day duration, has been changed. The dynamics are slightly improved.
13. Over time, new items appear in the store.
14. Ore generation has been improved. (Though titanium ore was rather rare during my latest walkthrough, that’s random parameters for you)
15. Character development has been balanced.
16. Additional fixes for grave loot and various flora. The chance to get a Hare amulet is at 100%. Some achievements can now be unlocked faster.
16. Various bug fixes and minor tweaks.

Well, are you ready to check out the new update?



I completed the new version of the game in 65 days. It was quite interesting and difficult, even for me! :) Definitely worth checking out! Especially since many of you play Niffelheim way better than us.

I will create a topic in the community and post a screenshot of my result. I encourage you to post your results there, but no cheating, please! Odin's eye sees everything!

Let us know your opinion about the update here and in the Discord channel. Create new topics in the community and tell us how you got to Asgard!

Thanks for your support,

Hey all,

would like to say that Update 1.0.10.001 is coming on Steam on 23rd September.
Weapon, armor and tools repair mechanics, new items, new crafts, new balance, and others will be included in this update. And of course - Jotuns!

All these things also included in console version at XboxOne, PS4 and Nintendo Switch on 20th September.

Good day!

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since we’ve shown ourselves, but it’s finally time for a news update.

Firstly, don’t miss the chance to purchase the game with 70% off - that’s the highest discount in history.
Secondly, we’re proud to announce the release of the game for Xbox One, PS4 and Switch on September the 20th.
Thirdly, we have updated the game and there are a few more updated coming up.


Now let’s focus on the features of version 1.0.009.1-3:

1. When a character is resurrected, they are invulnerable for 6 seconds, which should be enough time to get away from the surrounding enemies.
2. There are new fixes for gamepad control and pop-up hints. From now on the hints will be displayed no matter what device you are using - the keyboard or the controller.

What is planned for the next updates:

Improving the store feature, including the controls. New items will be unlocked as you keep playing the game.
Repairing weapons, equipment, and tools. There will be new items that will restore the durability of currently equipped items.
New balance for mobs and weapons.


All this and more will be introduced in the new updates, we are going to keep you updated on the course of development.

Also, we are currently working on a prototype for a new game - more news soon to come!

Good luck and have fun,
Ellada Games Team
