Tribes of Midgard News

Tribes of Midgard Season 3: Inferno Saga comes to all platforms on August 16!

Hiló Vikings,

Today we have a lot of exciting news to share with you! We have been hard at work behind the scenes and now we can finally announce that Tribes of Midgard Season 3: Inferno Saga will be coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on August 16th!



Season 3 is massive (our biggest update by far) delivering game-changing content, including a new Saga Quest, Saga Boss, Volcanic Spire Biome, Spear weapon (yes, so many of you guessed right!), Fishing, and more. Various improvements to combat, more accessibility settings, and plenty of quality of life additions (many suggested directly by you!) will also be part of this free update. Check out our Roadmap here!



As we’ve mentioned in previous Dev Blogs, this Season will also feature a complete revamp of Survival Mode! Keep on reading as we’ll dive into a bit more of what that means below. :)



Still something we can’t believe we’re finally saying - on August 16th, Vikings on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch join the fight against Ragnarök! At launch, they will have access to the new Saga and revamped Survival Mode and will be receiving all future updates for free alongside the other platforms. We look forward to sharing launch timing for specific regions as we get closer to the launch date!

Also launching on August 16 will be updates to BOTH Saga Mode and Survival Mode!

[h2]Inferno Saga[/h2]

It’s getting HOT in Midgard. 🔥 Our new Season features a brand-new Saga Quest: Inferno. The Saga Boss awaits you in the heart of the Volcanic Spire, a location you maaay recognize from an early teaser!

The new Saga Boss’ followers have set up Outposts across the land, hoarding the Múspelite materials, which can be used to open the Gateway to the Spire. Once there, you’ll have to endure rising temperatures, lava rivers*, and fiery foes as you seek out this new threat.

*we don’t recommend adventuring Vikings swim in the lava rivers

[h2]Survival 2.0[/h2]

Survival Mode is being completely rebuilt for those looking for a more relaxed Viking Survival experience - an alternative to the urgency you’d normally experience with the coming of Ragnarök in Saga Mode.

It focuses on life long before the Village and the Seed of Yggdrasil came to be. You won’t be alone - our Viking warrior Eira Foot-Crushed will be your guide, along with our fave feline friends Mániklo and Sóleyra. As a reminder - Jötnar will not attack the Village in this Mode - instead, you head out into the world to fight them (and the Saga Bosses) on your own terms!

Some of its new features include:
  • No more Giant or Helthing attacks: While Jötnar and Helthings will no longer march towards your Village, they’ll be found throughout Midgard (along with Saga Bosses) and can be defeated for rewards.
  • No central Village: Free from the constant threat of incoming Jötnar attacks, Einherjar can write legendary Viking tales of their own, building their perfect Viking homes with a variety of new Constructions and Decorations.
  • Crafting 2.0: Without a Village or Vendors, Einherjar in Survival 2.0 need to be self-sufficient to craft items. Utilize the magical Dwarven invention of the Allforge, accessible from the Build menu and free to place anywhere, no materials required. While the Allforge is valuable for repairing Equipment, its true purpose is to instantly build Crafting Stations, which allow you to craft and forge a variety of items depending on the Station type.
  • Choose your own destiny: You’ll be able to fully customize your play style with a brand new Blessing Tree layout, containing close to 100 Blessings otherwise contained to a specific Class. The Level cap will be increased from 10 to 50.
  • Much more we’ll get into very soon. 🙂

During this simpler time, new advancements in crafting require a new way to fight and gather materials. The addition of Spears will be a great asset to those starting out their journeys in Midgard.

Fishing Rods will also be incredibly helpful in finding out what type of fish are living in the ~Mysterious Ripples~ popping up in Rivers and Oceans. Both will be valuable tools as you survive AND thrive (surthive, as we say) in Midgard!

Of course, we’ll continue to be posting more peeks here and there, and updates with more information on what to expect in Season 3 before it releases on August 16! We’re so looking forward to welcoming new Vikings to our ever-growing family. 💙

Questions? We'll be hanging out in the comments and on our social media, so don’t hesitate to let us know. Psst. We almost forgot. Here’s a first look at what you can expect…

Tribes of Midgard: Monthly Recap, The Allforge, and more - Dev Blog #2



Welcome Vikings, to Dev Blog #2!

April has been an exciting month for us, and there’s even more to come in May. Season 3’s development is in full swing, and we’re glad to share that we've just reached an important milestone in wrapping up our Survival Mode Alpha phase! Survival Mode’s development is coming along well, and we have more to share below.

We also want to take this time to share news about the Private Beta, some patch notes, what we’re currently working on, and what else awaits for May. I’m too used to saying “let’s dive into it”... so uhh... in the spirit of this “hot” upcoming Season, “let’s get cooking”? 🔥

[h2]PRIVATE BETA (PC)[/h2]



With our new development phase starting, we’re excited for the opportunity to get our very first feedback on the revamped Survival Mode, as this will evolve with your help and input.

Our next Private Beta (on PC) will be held in mid-May, for all current and new Midguardians members.
If you’re interested in giving feedback, please don’t hesitate to join the Midguardians program. To learn more, visit https://www.tribesofmidgard.com/midguardians/!

[h2]PATCH NOTES[/h2]

Yesterday, we deployed a minor patch including Doubling XP in both Saga and Survival Mode as well as increasing boat health - be sure to restart your game to see the changes on all platforms. You can catch up on the full notes here!

[h2]SURVIVAL MODE INTRODUCTIONS[/h2]

Next, we want to (re)introduce some characters that will make an even stronger appearance in Midgard in Season 3’s revamped Survival Mode - it’s about time they say Hiló!

[h3]Eira Foot-Crushed ⚔️[/h3]



For years now, there has been a red-haired Einherjar featured on the Tribes of Midgard key art. She’s a powerful Viking warrior, named Eira Foot-Crushed (there’s a reason for that name… and we’ll get to that a bit later on).

She’s been a constant figure since the start of Tribes of Midgard’s development, and has two armors created after her - both the Eira and Midsummer Eira cosmetics.

Not only that, but she has lent her voice to narrate several of our trailers, and the Giant Showcase series. Did you know she even voices the introduction of the game, spoken in High Midgardian? She’s voiced by the talented Camilla Arfwedson, and we were fortunate enough to be in that recording session (very fun!!) to hear how it all came to life.

With all that said, it’s clear to us that it’s time for Eira to take on a greater role in our revamped Survival Mode - you’ll finally get to meet her in game for the first time! She’s currently creating some… special Runes for you, so expect to hear a proper introduction from her soon.

[h3]Mániklo and Sóleyra 🐱 [/h3]



Besides Eira, you may also recognize our curious and fantastical Norse cats from the tutorial (or maybe they’re your favourite pet in game) - Mániklo’ (meaning “Moon Claw”) and Sóleyra (meaning “Sun Ear”). Mániklo is, well, a stubborn little deity, while Sóleyra’s quirkiness tends to surface with her perpetual sense of adventure.

Since the Survival mode revamp will introduce many new changes and more to learn, the tutorial will be receiving various improvements, including a more consistent interaction with our two cats. Mániklo’s wise words, along with Sóleyra’s effervescence, will be there to guide you along your first steps in Season 3, so you don’t have to worry about learning the ropes alone.

But until they can do so, we’ll give it a start!

[h2]THE ALLFORGE[/h2]



We want to introduce you to an important element of the upcoming Survival Mode: The Allforge. This is a wondrous little Dwarven invention that can instantly craft Stations (you can see some examples of crafting stations here). You’ll need the Allforge in order to create Tools, Weapons, Armor, and maybe even a heavily fortified village.

It can be deployed wherever you’d like (fun fact: it can even repair your equipment). Think of it as the origin of all Stations!

[h2]FISHING[/h2]



This has been lurking on the Road Map for some time, and with the new Survival Mode, some brand new resources have appeared just under the water’s surface!

Craft one of many fishing rods, and find the perfect spot to fill your pantry.

[h2]NORSFELL HAS A NEW HOME[/h2]



Okay, besides the in-game news, we have some IRL news! Some of our team have started working at our brand new studio (still under construction - we need some plants) after 2 years of working from home. Though we remain a totally flexible, hybrid-working studio, we’re glad to see each other’s faces.

You can bet we’ll share a studio tour once the setup is done!

You’re allll caught up now. We can't wait to start this month of May with you, whether it's with our new PlayStation Plus tribe, our Midguardians, or all the players with whom we'll be sharing even more of our journey to come.

Questions? Comments? We'll be hanging out in the comments!
