Tribes of Midgard will be available in 2021! We can’t contain our excitement, and are so happy to share this news with you.

Nearly two years have passed since we first started working on the game — we’ve received so much feedback and support from all of you during that time, and have seen the game evolve before our eyes. This couldn’t have been possible without such a supportive and enthusiastic community like you, and for that, our thanks are immeasurable.

What to Expect


We’re the same team of Vikings, and we’ll still be keeping things as usual around here! We’re just adding additional resources to ensure this game continues to match our vision of what it can become. Posts like our regular dev updates, sneak peeks at upcoming features, and all the love that we share as a community will still continue.

If you’re feeling the same excitement as us, feel free to share the trailer!

Lastly, from all of us here at Norsfell, thank you/Þakkr! 💙
