Northgard launches on Nintendo Switch the 26th of September, followed soon after on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in early October

Shiro Games will be releasing their popular Viking strategy game Northgard on consoles, with their best-selling Steam title coming to Nintendo Switch on the 26th September, followed soon after by the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version in early October.

The critically acclaimed Northgard, which has sold more than 1 million units on Steam since its arrival in 2018, 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.

Northgard on console features all the content found in the Steam base version including the major Ragnarok and Relics updates: six clans, a lengthy single player story campaign, cooperative and competitive online play across various maps including the apocalyptic-themed Ragnarok, ranked play and much more. Shiro Games has also ensured that playing using the controller will be effortless, with many tweaks and a completely revamped user interface optimized for gamepads.

Northgard will be available via the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, and Microsoft Store for $34.99 / €34.99 / £31.49. Physical versions from distributor Merge Games will also be sold at retailers.
