Viking RTS Northgard to get new campaign expansion

Shiro Unlimited have announced that Northgard will be getting a new campaign expansion later this year.

Details are scarce, but it was announced during the PC Gaming Show 2022 that Shiro Unlimited are working on a new campaign expansion for their hit Viking RTS, Northgard. The expansion is set to release sometime this winter.

Set after the main storyline, the clans of Northgard found themselves unable to prevent Ragnarök. The clans have now set sail to find a new home, and upon arriving on foreign shores, quickly find themselves battling enemies both new and old.

You can find a trailer showing off Shiro Unlimited’s various announcements below.

WELCOME TO NORTHGARD

After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: NORTHGARD.

The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods.

That is, if they can survive the dire Wolves and Undead Warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.

FEATURES

• Build your settlement on the newly discovered continent of Northgard
• Assign your vikings to various jobs (Farmer, Warrior, Sailor, Loremaster…)
• Manage your resources carefully and survive harsh winters and vicious foes
• Expand and discover new territory with unique strategic opportunities
• Achieve different victory conditions (Conquest, Fame, Lore, Trading…)
• Play against your friends or against an AI with different difficulty levels and personalities
• Enjoy dedicated servers and grind the ranks to reach the final Norse God rank!

STORY MODE: RIG’S SAGA

• The Viking High King is murdered and his Regal Horn is stolen by a man named Hagen.
• This event kickstarts a saga that will take Rig, his son and heir accompanied by his right-hand man Brand through the new continent of Northgard.
• The continent where he will make new friends and foes and discover a much greater threat than Hagen, and the reasons behind his father’s assassination.

CHOOSE YOUR CLAN

In order to complete the 11 campaign chapters, the player will have to master the specificities of the 6 first clans and tame the unforgiving wilderness of Northgard.

Since the beginning of Northgard’s colonization, 5 new clans have joined the battle, introducing new ways of playing and battling.
