Iceberg Interactive has revealed that their Viking-themed survival colony simulator, Land of the Vikings, will transition from early access to its full 1.0 release on Steam come 9th October. To celebrate the launch, the game will maintain its price of $19.99 for an additional week, with a 25% discount also being offered during this time.
The recent Battle & Runic update is one of three significant updates rolled out during the Early Access phase, which developers Laps Games say started back in November 2022. Throughout this developmental year, they’ve introduced features such as a building editor, refined battle and defense mechanisms, and expanded the game with additional maps.
Land of the Vikings Release Date
“Harvest timber, cultivate crops, pursue wildlife, extract ores, and fish in the neighboring seas and fjords. From sustenance to settlers, judiciously manage your resources to endure the frigid winters and progressively expand your settlement with each passing season.
Each villager possesses a unique personality. With over 20 distinct characteristics, your residents can range from robust warriors to eloquent orators. Assign tasks based on their innate skills and talents. Remember, Vikings differ in their abilities, and not all are suited for every job!”</b>
Here’s a list of features:
- Survival and Prosperity: In Land of the Vikings, players must endure the harsh elements and navigate the treacherous terrain of the Viking age. Fell trees, cultivate crops, hunt wildlife, mine precious ores, and fish in the bountiful seas and fjords. Managing resources efficiently is vital to surviving the brutal winters and expanding your settlement.
- Unique Villagers: Each villager in your settlement is a distinct character with over 20 individual characteristics. Assign tasks based on their skills and abilities. Not all Vikings are created equal, so strategic planning is key to success.
- Expand Your Clan: As your settlement flourishes, more Vikings will seek refuge with your clan. You have the choice to welcome them into your fold or turn them away. Over time, your Vikings will establish families, ensuring the growth and prosperity of your village.
- Weather the Storm: From earthquakes to lightning-sparked fires, the Viking world is rife with disasters that threaten your settlement. The seasons bring their own challenges, including storms, blizzards, and bone-chilling winters. Prepare by stockpiling enough firewood and food to keep your Vikings warm and well-fed.
- Trade and Conquer: Establish trade routes to neighboring settlements, acquiring goods and gold to enhance your village. Send out daring raiding parties to plunder foreign villages for riches and fame points. Train and strengthen your Vikings to ensure victory and everlasting glory.
- Freedom to Build: Build your village without constraints, designing it as you see fit to increase your Vikings' happiness. Erect awe-inspiring monuments to Odin or Freya and personalize the appearance of your Viking ships. Shape the very houses in your settlement with the Building Editor.
- Yggdrasil - The Tech Tree of Life: Unlock new structures and bonuses by expending Fame points within the Tree of Life. Dive into the art of beer brewing, establish a cozy Tavern for your villagers to unwind, or invest in goat farming to produce wool and fabric for better clothing. As the quality of life and resources improves, your Vikings will thrive, and your settlement will flourish.
