The Viking RTS, Northgard, from Shiro Games has been given a release date. The game is coming to PS4 on September 26, 2019.
The date was revealed by Eurogamer yesterday. Northgard is a real-time strategy game set in the age of the Vikings. Based around Norse mythology, you control a clan of Vikings clawing for control of a newly discovered continent.
The PS4 version will feature all the content on the Steam version, as well as everything introduced in the Ragnarok and Relic updates. That means the game will have six clans, a lengthy campaign, co-op and competitive online play across various maps, and ranked play.
That is a lot of content for fans of strategy games out there.
You can see the console announcement trailer from earlier this year below:
Northgard has received a very positive reception on Steam. With more than 13,000 reviews the game is sitting at a ‘Very Positive’ rating.
If you want a better idea of the title, this description should do the trick:
Northgard is a strategy game deeply ingrained with Norse mythology. Players take control of their chosen Viking clan to explore and settle new territories which are filled with untold riches and deadly magical foes, from dire wolves and undead warriors, to giants and great dragons. To bring fame to their clan and write history, players will have to carefully manage their resources, trade with rival clans, befriend or defeat mythical creatures, brave the harshest winters and conquer unforgiving lands.
Indie games like Northgard are a dime a dozen on PS4. And, we have compiled a list of the PS4 Indie Games everyone should play, including the excellent Dead Cells and Dear Esther.
