Shiro Games‘ Northgard already launched on PC in 2018, but now, a Nintendo Switch, a PlayStation 4, and an Xbox One port is in development.

„Steeped in Norse mythology, Northgard allows players to control a Viking clan exploring and settling new territories filled with untold riches while fighting off hordes of magical foes, including dire wolves, undead warriors, giants, and dragons. To make history and bring both fame and fortune to their clan, players must carefully manage resources, trade with rival clans, befriend or vanquish mythical creatures, survive harsh winters, and conquer unforgiving lands.

Northgard’s console versions feature all the content found in the base Steam release, including the major Relics and Ragnarok updates: six clans, a lengthy campaign, co-operative and competitive online modes across a variety of maps featuring the apocalyptic-themed Ragnarok, ranked play, and much more. Shiro Games has crafted a controller layout that makes playing feel effortless, revamping the experience with a completely new user interface.

Originally released via Steam Early Access on February 22, 2017, Northgard quickly rose to become one of the most popular strategy games on the platform, selling more than 1 million copies. The game officially launched out of Early Access on March 7, 2018, and was one of the highest-rated PC strategy titles released that year, garnering a Metascore of 80,” the press release says.

So we can be a strategist on consoles, too, but we don’t know when – Northgard is planned to launch later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, where we hope it won’t be a technical mess such as American Fugitive was. However, Shiro Games will likely have to find a publisher. Perhaps they should go with THQ Nordic, who have been expanding hard, with a lot of unannounced games in development.
