ASKA
Kings & Leaders

ASKA

A new age of Vikings is dawning: in this early-access title, you build a self-sufficient tribe that builds, hunts, and fights together. Villagers have their own tasks and needs, while you seek the favor of the gods and hold your ground against ancient terrors and merciless winters.

Vikings Dynasty
Kings & Leaders

Vikings Dynasty

From the makers of Medieval Dynasty: in this early-access title, you settle as a Viking on a Nordic archipelago, build a village, explore fjords, and live off the land and sea. A mix of life sim, survival, and open-world RPG, set to reach its full release in 2026.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Action & Adventure

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

As the Viking Eivor, you lead a clan from Norway to Anglo-Saxon England in the 9th century. Between settling new lands, forging alliances, and campaigns of revenge, the game also opens gateways to Asgard and Jötunheim – including a stint in the role of Odin.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Kings & Leaders

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

In the medieval sandbox world of Calradia, you build trade empires, armies, and kingdoms in the struggle for power. The "War Sails" expansion introduces naval warfare for the first time: historically inspired ships, coastal raids, and sieges from the sea – along with the Nords, a distinctly Viking-flavored faction from fjords and northern lands.

Valheim
Kings & Leaders

Valheim

Fallen in battle, you awaken in Valheim, the tenth realm of Odin's domain – a procedurally generated world drawn from Norse mythology. Building, exploring, and survival meet axe, shield, and longship as you face trolls, dragons, and the bosses of the old sagas.

Northgard
Kings & Leaders

Northgard

In this build-and-strategy game, you lead one of nine Viking clans – from the Wolves to the Ravens – to a newly discovered continent steeped in myth. Resources, glory, and surviving the seasons determine which clan claims Northgard.

God of War Ragnarök
Action & Adventure

God of War Ragnarök

Kratos and his son Atreus face the approaching Fimbulwinter and the world-consuming fire of Ragnarök. This action-adventure weaves its own interpretation of Norse mythology with Odin, Thor, Freya, and Heimdall into one of gaming's most striking retellings of the gods.
