Valheim like city building game enters Steam Early Access

Fancy a new city building game that winds back the clock on Steam and looks like a Valheim management game? Well the announced early access period for Land of the Vikings may just be for you. Taking control of a Viking chieftain, better known as a Jarl, you'll help your settlement grow by managing your people and getting some help from the Norse gods too.

[h2]What is in Early Access?[/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!



[h2]What will be added during Early Access?[/h2]
We will release a proper roadmap in the near future, but here's a taste of what is to come:
  • More maps
  • More events
  • A building editor
  • Diplomacy mechanics
  • And more!


We're so excited to embark on this Early Access journey, and we hope to see you on the forums and on Discord.

Skål!

In this new Viking city builder, every citizen has their own skills and personalities




It isn't news that people love Vikings in video games. In just the past couple years we've seen Assassin's Creed: Valhalla become Ubisoft's biggest PC game launch ever and smash hit indie survival game Valheim sell millions of copies in early access. The interest in getting more Vikings on our computer monitors extends to city builders too, like 2021's strategy city builder Frozenheim and the upcoming (and rather bluntly named) Viking City Builder...
