Hello Everyone!

After a good month working on the previous update as well as planning the incoming year, we can now present what awaits you this year in Northgard!
You can expect a new way of handling the updates, and some content added thanks to the feedback and suggestion of the active players of the community.

Enough talk for now, here is the plans for Northgard in 2024...

As stated last year, the Lobby Finder was tested in Multiplayer and we received a lot of feedback and suggestions to improve on the current system. That is why our first update will focus on this as well as other improvements on the UI that were long requested.

More news will be shared soon, and you can already set yourself for an open beta incoming later this month to test it all out before it goes live!







Answering the feedback on the recent updates, we decided to split the DLC releases in two key moments. Those moments will be sorted in two times.
At first the community update, adding new content for everyone to enjoy for free
Then, nurturing on the new content of the last update, a new clan for everyone to claim and master

For Claws & Jaws, expect a focus on the wild beasts of Northgard, and a new clan being as feral and aggressive as them.

For Trade & Prestige, we’ll look into a way to enhance the experience of the victory of the same name. Giving it more depth and adding a new challenge on it. This will be added with several enhancements around that subject and with a new clan focused on the economy.







As some of you might have guessed with the annual survey, we know a lot of you care for the Conquest and wanted to address some of your desire toward an evolution of this mod!
The survey showed a deep care for the actual format of the conquest as well as a desire to discover a new format for those missions. With that in mind, we’ll come back on this during the summer with more information for you to have.

Ohoï warchiefs!
Here comes the new update for Northgard!
In it, you will find a new clan but also a new lobby finder and lore victory rework.

Vördr is now ready to wrap Northgard around their claws. Their Norns are now launched around the land to gather enough wisdom to satisfy Yggdrasil.

You can join the Cosmic Tree and learn everything about it below…

---

It’s time for the southern kingdoms to face new threats, as Kernev and Neustria gain 3 new specific conquests each!

Those conquests are also available for other clans.




As stated previously, the main grip with the wisdom victory is how passive it was. For that reason, we added WONDERS

Being the wiser is great, spilling it to the face of the world is better. You will now be able to claim the victory blessing earlier, but once it’s done, you’ll have to buiild a Wonder, a massive monument to assert your devotion to your gods.


You will have to protect your edifice while it gathers all the wisdom your clan is producing. When it's full, you win!


The closer to the center of the map your wonder is, the quicker you assert your dominance over Northgard.


While we talk about buildings made of wood, some new clans might prefer to pledge their allegiance to nature. If you are facing an Owl, watch out for their wonder, it seems quite aggressive.


Great Ymir! Vördr used the world tree to send an attack of titan™!


After so much time with the lobby selection, now is the age of the lobby finder!
This system helps us ensure fairness in ranked games by assuring teaming is not possible for gamemode not requiring it.

Only the 3 main modes of Northgard are taken into account: 3V3, 1v1, FFA
You can still access all other modes with the custom lobby.




Winter event with its unique decorations and visuals is activated on the game with this update.

We want to thank all the people that joined our beta, we received a lot of feedback, some of them going further than what is now available in-game. Those requested additions have been noted and will be studied as possible additions for future update.
For a better vision on the matter, we are talking about multiqueue, adding modes, more info on the player count, etc…

In terms of bug report and feedback, the beta went well in our opinion. There are still changing points but the format in itself might be something that will be done again!

Thank you all for reading this news, don’t forget to check the Clan of the Owl if you have time, some info has been shared but there is a lot more as of now.

Enjoy this winter season and this new update! We'll come back to you this winter with what's coming for 2024...

If you want to talk about this new update, don't forget to join us and the rest of the community on our Discord server, Reddit page, and follow our news on Twitter and Facebook.
You can also keep updated directly by the devs during our streams on Twitch!
