A true partnership with a major music label is coming: the Nuclear Blast RAID!



This year with Ragnarock, we brought you in the mythical waters of the Hellfest Festival. You may have discovered new bands, experienced new music styles and maybe even met an angry octopus! That's why you joined the mighty power metal crew Hootforce with Gloryhammer in the first Ragnarock RAID. And now, it’s time to join us on our last adventure of the year: the Nuclear Blast RAID!

This new and unique partnership with a metal music label is for us the opportunity to bring you several artists with very different musical styles, in the same DLC, a bit like what we did with the Hellfest RAID!

A collaboration with one of the main metal music labels has always been obvious for us. Nuclear Blast Records and Ragnarock both share similar values regarding the quality of their partnerships and their musical know-how, which are very important to us!

So, enjoy this new epic journey and drum on Nuclear Blast Records label bands such as Beast In Black, Equilibrium, Battle Beast and others.

Oh, and by the way, a good Viking never leaves without his hammers and his boat keys! So take a sneak peek at the new Nuclear Blast longship skin we designed for you in this RAID.

The hammers and the longship of this raid are inspired by the "Nuclear Blast Records" label logo.
After analyzing and splitting it up, we turned this logo into a twisted driftwood.


Here is an artwork from Suzanne, Art Director at WanadevStudio.


Meet Paulin, utilizing the next hammer in Blender for the trailer you will discover in a few days.

From this, the idea of the moose was born. Come on, can you think of more Nordic animal than the moose? We incorporated the green color as a reminder of the label's old logo. This color links the two objects, creating a perfect hammer set to intimidate opponents and set new high scores.


This is Pauline, modeling the next longship you can ride in the Nuclear Blast RAID.

We are waiting for you on Steam, Oculus & Viveport on December 15th to live this epic collaboration with us !

Update 1.6 - Patch 3

- Restored music volume to match previous update level

Note from the team:
During development, we had sound issues on other platforms that drove us to rework the whole system. That changed the overall audio mix on the game, and therefore the game feel that our players were used to. We apologize for that, and we restored the audio mix to what it was before. We will continue working to offer you the best game experience possible across all platforms, while preserving the loudness and power expected from a viking metal themed game!

Update 1.6 - Patch 2

  • [Fix] Restored preview sound quality (was downmixed to mono)
  • [Fix] Restored song volume to mix properly with other gameplay sounds like drums
  • [Fix] Longship shields color/texture now display properly
  • [Fix] Front panel when starting a multiplayer game now properly shows if the song is available
  • [Fix] Front panel when starting a multiplayer game now properly disappears when the song starts
