Ohoï Vikings
Summer is almost over, and it's time to let you discover the next game mode.
For the most motivated of you, it's form your own squad and join the Public Beta branch to test out the new PVE game mode called Bifrost!

---

As previously mentioned, the game mode is designed to play cooperatively against the environment (PVE). You will be up to 4 clans, facing attacks from foreign forces outside your realms.
To stand up to them, you will need to unite and become stronger than ever!


When you’ll start the game, you will face the world stripped from your skills

• No clan unique knowledges will be available at start
  
• You’ll have only a few buildings selected beforehand.

To face the invasion, you’ll have your teammates to help you

• Share some of your start-withs.
  
• Share a part of the resources you produce.
  
• Build your buildings in the territories of your allies.
  
• Prepare your defence, raise towers and barricades.
  
• stand together against the attacks becoming stronger.

Rise and find your way through the realms

• Each year you survive, you’ll unlock new buildings, knowledge,etc...
  
• Find and complete additional objectives to gain collective bonuses
  
• Find the Bifröst on the map and use it to go to the next realms!

Face stronger threats and overpower them

• Each realm is more difficult to survive than the last. Get all the bonuses you can before you escape.
  
• Go as far as you can through the realms
  
• If you die on the way… try again with different strategies, synergies, and combinations of clans.

---

During this beta, we ask you to give us any feedback you have on the mode, anything will help us, especially when it comes to balancing teams of different sizes (only 2 players, solo,etc...).
We ask you to give us constructive feedback on the mods, as this is the best way for us to adapt the mode and make it the best they can be when they are released!
For the feedback, be sure to use the form made for it
For the bugs, be sure to use the in-game bug report system!

Link to the form


If you want to get involved and give us your feedback, the mode will be added to the public beta branch, so you can try it out and give us your feedback!

You can find the public beta branch by going in the steam option for the game

If you want to find likeminded betatesters, you can look in our associated forums! The specific channels on Steam and Discord

Steam forum | Discord

---

Given the amount of work required to add this new gameplay mode, we need more time to allow you to test it out and for us to make use of your feedback.

For this reason, the release of the live version of the game has been delayed beyond this summer. We hope you understand, and if you would like to try out the mode in the meantime, feedback is always welcome on the early version available in Public Beta!

Thank you for your consideration.

Ohoï vikings!
It’s been a while since we talked about Northgard in itself. The game has been out for years now and we recently passed a total of 4 million players with Northgard in their hands!
Thanks to all of you for following us for all this time. To celebrate, Northgard and its DLC are up to 75% off their original price. This goes along a little surprise that you can find below!

---

Since the release of the game in 2017, there has been a lot of additions made to answer the community’s demand. Those implementations changed the game for the better and some of them are now indissociable with the game. See the relics, the diplomacy and the neutral factions...

Another one of these free major updates was the Conquest. A new game mode with a lot of replayability and a new co-op experience for a good part of you to enjoy! With our next update, we aim to achieve the same experience of rediscovering the game. We’ll be sure to include you with a beta, but that’s a topic for later down that news…

---

As a part of the celebration, we decided to give a brand-new look on Northgard Steam page! This includes new screenshots, new presentations, and a new trailer!

This trailer is the celebration of what has been done after all this time since the release. To reflect the game as it currently stands, with new graphics, new game modes, all!

---

We want to thank our community in the forums and social media where your participation is seen by the devs. This direct communication is something we value. Constructive feedback is the reason we look forward to an open beta where you’ll be able to test yourself on the incoming update…

---

On the next update, we want to state again, this mode made for cooperation in PVE like the Conquest is. A lot of you want to play with more players. The new game mode is made for that! You will be able to have up to 4 players in total working alongside each other in a PVE mode!

If you are interested, be sure to stay tune all over the week! News about the game will be shared until this Thursday for the launch of the Open Beta! We'll then be sure to cover all this in a future stream on Friday!

Thank you again for following our game. We hope to see you for the next updates!
