Ahoy Vikings!

Nominations for the 2024 Steam Awards are open, and we would love it if you would vote for Northgard in the ‘Labor of Love’ category!

This year was packed with updates like the previous one for the last 7 years, making additions to the game to answer the demands of the community. Of course, the game still has some road to do, and we'll be sure to take the time to address the remaining demands from the community! Now before we tackle this in 2025, we also wants to celebrate what has been done during this year. Permit us to invite you on this journey!

---

---

A community-driven update packed with changes players have been asking for! Multiplayer gets a smoother experience with new features like the ready button and clan lore tree previews. Plus, fresh visual updates, improved camera angles, and a new bug reporting system to help us help you.

---

---

A wild addition to Northgard's challenges with new wildlife roaming the lands! Foxes and boars join the fray, offering fresh tactical battles with their unique traits. This update also brings three new conquest missions for every clan and improves the AI to provide a better challenge for all players.

---

---

The newest update yet, adding some balancing for clans that were asked the most by the community, but most espacially a rework of the Trade victory! You can now trade with the wealthy faction of Miklagard and gain enough influence to win the trade war against other viking clans!

---

---

A new mode to answer the demand of players who were expecting a 4 players mode, and a new way to play the game! Bifrost offer a challenging and replayable experience that makes you merge multiple clans and enjoy a journey across the realms!

---

That’s all for us today. We hope you’ll vote for us this year and that you’ll keep enjoying the game!
In the meantime, the game and its DLC are joining the Autumn Sale and are up to 90% off —perfect timing to claim the throne of Northgard!

Ohoï Vikings!

After weeks gathering your feedback, it is now time to unveil the Trade and Prestige update! We are also waiting for you to comment on the new Miklagard faction which joined the ever-growing Northgard universe!

---

---

A new faction has reached Northgard, through a famous merchant from Miklagard!

Miklagard is a faction outside of the game. To get a Diplomatic Victory, you'll need to send them krowns and get their favours! But be warned, the diplomatic war extend to other clans, and you'll have to spend a lot of your income to reach victory!

To gain influence with Miklagard, you can trade through trading posts and docks with relevant knowledge. Trading will grant strong bonuses but will require active engagement on your end. Miklagard wealth is desired by many, and you'll have to fight for their favours.
Gather the most influence, crush your rivals diplomatically and claim victory!

---

---

This balancing aims at addressing community concerns on those specific clans as well as others. If you would like to read more about it, please check the complete patch notes by using the link below!

Full patch notes

While reviewing your most recent feedback, we noticed a strong demand for deeper rework of the current meta. We plan to get a closer look at the topic during our Annual Survey to fully appreciate how important it is for the community.

---

We hope you'll enjoy this community update!
Rest assured that we'll pay close attention to your comments. A first update should arrive early next week to address any potential new issue! Besides, you won't have to wait long for more info on the next update... ⚔️

Unlike the current beta for the Trade and Prestige Community Update, this one will be closed to some players. You'll have access to an early version of the next clan to give us early feedback, just like the public beta branch!


What will be my goal?
A beta tester provides feedback and reports bugs from the current beta build, enabling our team of developers to make necessary adjustments and fix reported issues effectively.

When do you plan on starting the beta?
We plan to start the Beta in the following weeks to give you time for feedback during the rest of the month!

How can I sign up for the closed beta?
Click on the button below and fill the registration form. This will allow us to select participants and notify you if you are chosen

Fill the form

How can I expect to be contacted?
We'll be sure to contact you via mail next week if you are selected!
