Check out our Community Team playing ASKA

Hey Vikings!

Wanting to check out ASKA? Here's some footage of our Community Team playing the game for you to enjoy!

Just as a reminder, this is pre-recorded and not live!

Deep Dives & Demos

Hey Vikings!

What an exciting day for ASKA with lots of news to share.
First off, we’re delighted to say we’ll be taking part in both the Open World Survival Craft Festival on 27 May - 3 June AND Steam Next Fest on 10 - 17 June which means you’ll have plenty of time to check out ASKA ahead of Early Access on 20 June.
Phew!

On top of that, we’ve just released a super cool Deep Dive Trailer going into more detail about what you can expect playing ASKA and how to grow your village from surviving with a simple fire & shelter to a thriving colony with villagers a-plenty.
Check it out here:

We’re so excited to see you all playing in both of the upcoming demos and we look forward to hearing how your villages are growing.
If you like what you see, we would love if you could add ASKA to your wishlists 🙏
Don’t forget - you can find us on most social platforms under @askathegame and you can find our growing tribe in Discord here

ASKA Early Access Date Reveal

Gather your tribe vikings because we’re coming to Early Access on Steam on 20 June!

We are almost there & really excited to be able to get ASKA into your hands in just a few short weeks.
The game has been a labour of love for the studio and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the support of all of our testers & community helping us craft this survival colony experience for you, and with early access on the horizon we can continue to improve ASKA for everyone to enjoy.
Just know this is only the beginning and we can’t wait to keep shaping the game alongside our players.

Don’t forget to wishlist if you haven’t already & you can find us on social platforms under @askathegame or join our Discord community if you want to stay up to date with news.

Welcome April Beta Testers!

Hey Vikings

Today’s the day - if you’ve been successful in your application for the Closed Beta you should have now received an email letting you know that you’re in.

Please don’t be discouraged if you weren’t selected - we had an overwhelming amount of applications and if we could have let everyone into this Beta we would have but unfortunately we are unable to stress test with everyone.

To all of our new testers we are so thrilled and grateful to have you. You’ll gain access to the Beta section of the Discord throughout the course of the day & will receive your codes on Monday April 15 for the April Closed Beta launch!

Please remember, this is a Closed Beta & you must not to disclose any information about the game that relates to the Closed Beta - the reason for this is that the game isn’t fully baked yet. Streaming and content creation is also not permitted during the whole event - we want to save this until a bit later.

We can’t wait to share more of this world we’re building with you all and we hope you all build a strong & thriving tribe (or tribes!) of your own.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have, give us as much feedback as you wish & help us make 2024 the year of the Viking!

Valheim has competition in new Steam survival game, beta coming soon

The early months of 2024 have seen a barrage of weird and wonderful survival games, from breakout hit Palworld to the mysterious Enshrouded. Nightingale is also out in the world, putting a classier spin on the beloved genre, while rumors of Valheim's highly anticipated Ashlands update whisper away on the wind. Concrete release information for the latter, though, is sorely lacking, so while we wait for the next chapter of Iron Gate Studio's Viking saga, I'd advise checking out the Aska beta for some Nordic action.
