We’ve just released new concept art for NORSE: Oath of Blood, showcasing our approach to building a world rooted in real Northern history.

[h2]Warrior Concept Art[/h2]
Here, we have four different warrior types - Rakkr, Drengr, Bogmathr and Berserkr with various levels of clothing and armor. Warriors are shaped by their environment, with patched garments, weather-beaten skin and weapons that have been crafted to invoke fear in the enemy.

[h2]Settlement Concept Art[/h2]
Your Viking settlement, Suthrvik, features a timber longhouse, sod roofs, and outdoor workspaces that reflects the seasonal cycles and the hardships of early Norse life.



[h2]Environment Concept Art[/h2]
The environments follow the same principle of authenticity, with sparse forests, muddy trails, and coastal debris shaped by wind and weather.

Set in the harsh, untamed wilderness of dark age Norway, NORSE: Oath of Blood puts players in the war-worn boots of Gunnar, a young warrior out to avenge the murder of his father, Jarl Gripr, at the hands of the traitor Steinarr Far-Spear. As Gunnar, you must rebuild your shattered clan, gather allies, and rise to reclaim what was taken.

But survival in this world demands more than vengeance.

Key Features:

• Tactical Turn-Based Combat: Engage in brutal skirmishes where positioning and tactics are everything.
  
  
• Settlement Building: Raise your village from a meager camp to a fortified stronghold.
  
  
• Narrative-Driven Choices: Forge alliances, betray enemies, and shape Gunnar’s destiny through every decision.
  
  
• Authentic Viking Storytelling: Written by Giles Kristian, Sunday Times bestselling author of Norse historical fiction, the game delivers an immersive, character-driven Viking epic.
  

Currently in development for Windows PC and consoles, NORSE: Oath of Blood is scheduled for release in 2025.



Raise a horn and join us in honoring the legacy of the Norse, the seafarers, warriors and storytellers whose sagas still echo through the fjords of history.
