Hey Vikings!

Starting this month, we'll be releasing monthly recaps to keep you in the loop on everything we're up to, whether it be Tribes of Midgard related or our favourite community posts this month!
In this November recap, we'll share these highlights of the month:

• Big News (three nominations for awards)!
  
• Open Beta 3 News
  
• Event Recap

• A hint at the end...

Check all of it out below!


We're incredibly honored to have been nominated for THREE awards at MEGA + MIGS last weekend:

Thanks so much to everyone who had a chance to play the game!

Without getting too cheesy, being nominated for these categories means the absolute world to us.






As you know, you'll be able to battle Giants again and play Tribes of Midgard in Early December, for Open Beta 3!

We're finally on our last stretch to lock the current build for the Open Beta 3. From there, we’ll take time to test it and start working on features for the next build. So far we've announced two new enemies: the Helthing Boss and Unsunken Javelin! But there's more on the way, so prepare for a fight.

Midgard's getting dangerous! 😉



We're also adding new Camps to find in the world, to make the Land of Pools feel even swampier.



We finished the community chest, and it's ready for you to share all your loot! Check it out:



We're in the process of making an Open Beta 3 trailer, so we've been doing a lot of new gameplay recording and can't wait to share it with you!

We're also excited to say that we've already started working on some future features (the ones coming after this Open Beta) - such as Giant #3, and designing the Construction system! We're also researching features like player ping and map markers, to enhance communication between teammates. Onwards!

This is our main Steam page:

Make sure to follow us there so you can be notified when the game is open. We post important updates like the latest localization news, upcoming features, and will announce the Open Beta dates there first!

While you're there, it would mean a lot to us if you Wishlisted the game! 💙








We have a Tribes of Midgard Wiki, which can be your ultimate guide during Open Beta 3. However, it's still in the process of being made by our amazing Wiki Team. So, if you want to help fill it out, and want to get a document full of Tribes knowledge, join the Wiki Team!

• 15 questions long
  
• 20 seconds per question
  
• With 1 winner, who becomes the Quiz Jarl of the week!

When the month is done, the person with the highest score keeps the Quiz Jarl of the month title. We keep track of everyone's scores! Come test your knowledge, and see if you can take over the reign (Plus, learn a little bit about Norse Mythology)!






Last weekend we attended MEGA + MIGS, and as you saw, came back with 3 nominations for awards! Thanks so much to everyone who came out to see us, and for playing some Tribes of Midgard! 😄

It was an absolute blast- over the 4 convention days we met many awesome people, and got the chance to try out some sweet games ourselves. For those who just signed up to the newsletter while there - welcome! Glad to have you as part of our Tribe!



This month we wished Mari, our illustrator, and Richard, our game designer, a happy birthday! Our tradition involves watching them eat a tiny cake.


Did you know? Norsfell just turned SIX years old! 🎉 We're grateful that you're here joining us along our development journey. We're proud of what we've accomplished these past years, and can't wait to see where the next six take us. 😃

The next languages translated in 100% will be integrated for the Early Access next year. Keep working, You're all doing an amazing job, even if you haven't reached 100%

This week we added new lines for the next Building features, that's why all the languages are now at less than 100%. Please check by using the filter of empty rows, you'll find it really easy that way! :)

What do you think we could be adding to the Land of Pools?

Hey Vikings!

You may (or may not) have heard- we have our very own Wiki page on Gamepedia!

https://tribesofmidgard.gamepedia.com/Tribes_of_Midgard_Wiki

It's got a start to it, but there's still a lot to add. Since Tribes of Midgard isn't open to play just yet, we've made a sheet full of lore and information on the game and want to share it with those who'd want to help contribute to the Wiki!

To get access to the sheet, head to our Discord server and PM any of our Mods!

We'd love your help to expand the Wiki, and it would be great to have it expanded before Open Beta 3, so that it can help people to get the hang of the game (and to answer questions that pop up often, like where to find certain resources)!

You'll receive the permanent title of "Lore Master" on Discord, and we'll be giving you a sheet with ALL of Tribes information and lore so you can help us in filling out the Wiki.

Unlock the secrets! Plus, learn a bit about how to expand a Gamepedia page!

Hope to see you there! 😄
