Land of the Vikings — Early Access Release Date Reveal!

Greetings, Jarls!

After two wonderful demo periods, we are gearing up for the Early Access release. The wait is almost over, as Land of the Vikings will be sailing into Early Access on November 8th! Only two more weeks until you can build to your heart's content. Can't wait that long? Just check out our brand new trailer on repeat and watch the time fly by!

[h2]What can you expect from the Early Access release?[/h2]

[h3]Four unique maps[/h3]
At EA launch, there will be four playable maps, each with their own quirks and sizes. Some offer more of a challenge than others, like the White Rivers map, where resources are both scarce and far away from civilization. If you're looking for even more of a challenge, there are also difficulty settings to further spice things up.



[h3]Dozens of buildings and decorations[/h3]
You can go deeper into the tech tree than in the demos we held, meaning you'll unlock way more buildings! Shape the Viking village of your dreams, then decorate it with statues to honor the Gods and more.



[h3]Every Viking is different[/h3]
A good Jarl will manage their Vikings carefully. With over 20 randomized traits, no two Vikings will be the same. Inspect your villagers closely, find the right Viking for the job, and become the most efficient Jarl in all the land.



[h3]Survive the elements[/h3]
Providing your people with food and roofs over their heads won't be enough. You'll have to survive terrible disasters. There will be blizzards, earthquakes, and lightning storms as if you called down the wrath of Thor himself. Always be prepared for disaster to strike.



[h3]Go raiding[/h3]
Choose your strongest, wiliest Vikings, then train them in warrior schools. Once they're ready, prepare a ship, stock up on provisions, and send them out on raids. If your warriors return victorious, you will of course share in the spoils of war!



And that's just a taste of what's to come! Over the course of Early Access, we will be adding more maps, mechanics, and other content like mod support. We're very excited to embark on this journey with all of you, and we will be listening to your feedback at every stage of EA.

Skål!
