Arctic Hazard didn’t really go overboard with the name, but don’t judge this multiplatform strategy RPG by that…

Norse is a turn-based tactical game set in Viking Age Norway. Build a settlement, forge alliances and fight strategic battles. Manage a community of craftsmen, farmers, and warriors as you grow strong on your path to vengeance. Enter the rugged, untamed beauty of ancient Norway in Norse, a turn-based tactics game that plunges you into the heart of the Viking Age. Embark on an epic quest for vengeance as Gunnar, a young warrior whose destiny is forged in blood and betrayal. After the treacherous Steinarr Far-Spear murders his father, Jarl Gripr, and decimates his people, Gunnar’s path is clear: rebuild, ally, and rise up to reclaim honor and justice.

Build your own settlement from the ground up, gather allies from near and far, and train a formidable warband to stand at your side. Every choice you make shapes the world around you as you navigate a landscape filled with danger and opportunity. Face off against rival clans, forge unbreakable bonds, and outmaneuver your enemies in tactical, turn-based battles that test your strategic skills.

Penned by award-winning author Giles Kristian, Norse brings a rich, historically immersive narrative to life. With a cast of unforgettable characters and a story that grips you from the start, every moment is an adventure in a world where honor, loyalty, and revenge are everything. Will you be able to lead Gunnar to triumph and restore his father’s legacy, or will the treachery of Steinarr Far-Spear be the end of your saga?

Arctic Hazard is playing on home turf because it’s a Norwegian studio, and few people know the Norwegian landscape better than they do. Norse doesn’t have a release date yet, so it probably won’t be out this year, or even next year. We do know the target platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam). How much thought did the studio put into the name of the game? We think not very much.
