Sons of Valhalla has released!
Grab your swords! The time has finally arrived to lead your Vikings across the lush, yet dangerous landscapes of England. Sons of Vahalla is 10% off until April 19th.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2mxxjc7wmo And don't forget, amidst the flyting and feasting, to visit the mead hall on our Discord server to share your victories and strategies and chat with fellow Vikings.
We have a Wiki page to help answer any questions you might have. From our wise Norse elder, you can find a guide to help you become the best Viking you can be.
That's all for now, folks! Keep your axes sharp and your mead sweet.
Ready Your Swords, Vikings, and Join the Shield-Wall Today!
Warriors of the North!
The time has come to sharpen your swords and ready your shields as Sons of Valhalla prepares to release on April 5th.
In this blend of side-scrolling action and base-building strategy, you will step into the boots of Thorald Olavson. Driven by the desire for vengeance against a formidable Jarl, your journey will take you across the sea to England and into the heart of enemy territories.
Victory, however, demands more than bravery in battle. It calls for the construction of unassailable fortresses, the management of a thriving economy, and the unwavering loyalty of a warband forged in the fires of your ambition. From creating resource-generating structures to fortifying your villages against enemy retaliation, every decision shapes the path to reclaiming what is rightfully yours.
But the road to retribution is not one you must walk alone. Join our Discord server today to find fellow warriors, share strategies, and forge alliances that could turn the tide of war in your favor. Together, we will lay siege to our enemies' strongholds, command our troops in the heat of battle, and write our sagas in the annals of Valhalla.
Sons of Valhalla is about to be released! The concrete release date will be April 5th 2024. We have spent the last few months to implement some player feedback and we really hope that you will like our final SoV. But that's not all - even after the release we still have a lot of stuff planned! We will add additional free content to shed some light on the backstory of some characters. While you are reading this message, a release trailer has just been released.
