Kalypso Media e Games Farm hanno annunciato poco fa un nuovissimo titolo con ambientazione nordica che sarà disponibile il prossimo anno su PC, PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Il gioco si chiama Vikings: Wolves of Midgard ed è un action RPG con visuale isometrica che metterà i giocatori di fronte ad una lotta ambientata nel bel mezzo dello scontro più importante della mitologia norrena, ovvero Ragnarok.
Brutal Combat, Mythical Beasts and Ragnarok Await. Vikings: Wolves of Midgard Announced
Kalypso Media and Games Farm are proud and excited to present Vikings: Wolves of Migard, a bold new IP that will pit Action RPG fanatics against the most legendary of all mythological conflicts: Ragnarok.
Legend has it, that when the coldest winter descends, the Jotan will return to take their vengeance against the Gods of Asgard. The world is on the road to perdition and the fate of Midgard hangs in the balance. But when the Fire and Frost Giants begin to merge their armies, they encounter the clan of the Ulfung – the Wolves of Midgard. Bloody, but unbowed following the destruction of their village, this notorious band of ostracized Viking warriors are determined to seize their destiny and save the world. As clan chief, you must save Midgard from complete annihilation, and spearhead the charge to vanquish the fiendish creatures of the Fimbulwinter.
Launching on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC, Mac and Linux in early 2017, Vikings: Wolves of Midgard will transport you to the Shores of Midgard, a world based upon the mythology and history of the Vikings. Battle the fearsome Jotan, hordes of terrifying undead monstrosities and other myriad beasts of Ragnarok, either on your own or by teaming up with a friend via the online co-op multiplayer mode. Master mighty weapons, including sword and shield, two-handed hammers, dual-wielded axes and swift bows. Earn blood in battle to offer in tribute to the Gods in order to acquire and enhance devastating Spell Powers and other special unlockables. As well as the regular story mode (and New Game+), players can also test their mettle in the ‘Trials of the Gods’ – a special challenge mode that rewards the best warriors with special equipment and runes.
