Full release date announcement & Update 0.9.0 - Thorstein Saga
[h2]Northernfolk![/h2]
Over the course of its Early Access year Paranoid Interactive’s debut title, Frozenheim, gained much popularity with Steam players. As it developed from a small, 3-people project to a fully-fledged, multi-faceted strategy title, the game sold nearly 200 000 copies. Following the Early Access launch under our indie publishing label, Hyperstrange, the development team grew four times in size to be able to meet the expectations of the game’s fast-growing community.
We are as grateful as we are humbled by your tremendous support and the amount of feedback provided. This kind of player-developer feedback loop, only possible in Early Access, was exactly what we hoped for, and what the game needed to reach its true potential. Today, along with the expected content update, we have the pleasure to announce the upcoming FULL RELEASE date - Thor's Day, June 16!

The full 1.0 release, will not only bring about the finishing touches to the game’s visuals and gameplay, but will also introduce the fourth story campaign, and a conclusion to the entire Frozenheim legend. The game’s price will increase slightly to $19.99 (16.99€) before the full launch, but the players can expect a release-week discount on Steam, GOG, and Humble Store. This also means, that the current discount offer is your best chance to grab the game on the cheap, and take the advantage of the last early adopter pricing window.

Today’s eighth and final Early Access update, moving the game up to version 0.9, adds a third story campaign. Its four missions focus their narrative around Thorstein, the hero of the Bear Clan, and make up for the total of sixteen scenarios available in the game. The multi-player segment receives its long-awaited matchmaking feature, and siege weapons make their way into the north land battlefields. See for yourself!
