Guide Gunnar as he rebuilds his settlement, forms alliances, and leads his warband in a relentless pursuit of vengeance.

Engage in turn-based battles where positioning, unit synergy, and terrain matter. Use elevation, flanking, and environmental hazards to your advantage. Each warrior has a unique skill set. Deploy them strategically to control the battlefield and outsmart your enemies. Recruit and train a variety of fighters, each with customizable gear and upgradeable abilities that will shape your tactical options. Oversee your Viking village as it grows from a small camp into a thriving stronghold. Assign villagers to roles, manage resources, and upgrade buildings to unlock new units and equipment.

Scavenge the wilderness, trade with allies, and gather resources to craft authentic weapons and armor. Upgrade your smithy, armory, and workshops to gain access to advanced equipment that will directly impact your combat effectiveness and village resilience. Can you lead Gunnar to triumph and restore his father’s legacy, or will Steinarr Far-Spear’s treachery be the end of your saga? The fate of your people lies in your hands. Written by bestselling author Giles Kristian, Norse: Oath of Blood delivers an unforgettable, immersive saga where your decisions determine the fate of a people.

Norse: Oath of Blood will be released on February 3 for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
