Greetings free-to-players and veteran community members!
The time in Sweden just passed us into the 8th of December and with that we're entering our final day of the F2P weekend.
We've received a massive amount of great feedback due to this which has, and will, be of great help as we continue development of our game. So thank you everyone, new and old, for joining in and playing War of the Vikings this weekend.
If you have not done so yet, please take a moment and share your honest feedback or suggestions on our forums which you can find here.
So what's up next?
December 11th we're adding another smaller update in which we introduce the melee spear and a class wielding it. This new weapon plays very differently from the ones currently available, and for those of you who decide to continue playing War of the Vikings - we're looking forward to hearing your continued feedback once they have been released!
Our largest update yet - Atgeirr - is now LIVE on Steam! Servers are updated in all regions and they are ready to handle the inevitable boatload of furious Vikings that a new Phase brings.
This new update brings you the Conquest game mode, two new maps, new profiles and javelins and the all new immersion improving feature Battle Chatter! All this is of course accompanied by a plethora of bugfixes, balance improvements and optimization.
Together with this update we hosting a Free to Play weekend for everyone that owns steam, so invite your friends and foes and explore the new update together.
Welcome to the War of the Vikings Early Access program!
Here’s what you get to try out right away in Early Access: right now, the game gives you access to 3 fixed profiles, the ‘Arena’ and ‘Team Deathmatch’ game modes, 2 small maps (Gauntlet and Docks), 2 large maps (Forest and Docks), and a selection of weapons including Swords, One-Handed and Two-Handed Axes, Longbows, Throwing Axes, and Daggers.
Remember, this is still not a finished version, so more features like custom profiles, the squad system, and better blood effects are still being worked on. You’ll see those features added to the game as development progresses – playing in Early Access is a great way to watch the game grow from the inside and help us shape the final version!
If you wish to give us direct feedback there is a survey available in game (lower left corner in the main menu) which will be opened in the Steam browser - so you don't even have to stop playing!
