The Viking Way

The Viking Way is set in the North Sea, where you sail Viking longships, explore new lands, trade and fight. With Odin by your side, you build a fleet and army, seek treasure and uncover the North Sea’s mystery.

Sail and explore

Plan your voyages by managing supplies and ship loadouts. Storms, icebergs, reefs and pirates threaten your journey, while new lands offer fortune and adventure.

Trade and build your realm

Each settlement has its own supply and demand. You can plan trading routes while avoiding hazards and food shortages at sea, then bring your cargo safely to market. Settlements can also be brought under your rule and developed for sustainable wealth.

Manage your fleet and army

Choose fleet units for each voyage. Upgrade cargo ships with more storage and faster sails, and equip battleships with ballistic weapons and armour to protect your cargo. Recruit warriors and hero companions to expand your forces.

Fight on land and sea

On land, you fight in third-person close-quarters combat with swords, axes and spears, and can use a shield wall. Raid villages and monasteries or attack fortified cities and strongholds. At sea, combine ranged artillery with boarding: weaken enemy ships from a distance, then chase, ram, grapple and board them to defeat their crews and loot rare trade goods.

Lead your chieftain

RPG elements let you assign skill points and find legendary medieval weapons and equipment as you develop your Viking chieftain. As your fame grows, rulers offer exclusive missions with lucrative rewards. You can also speak with bartenders during downtime; generous tips may earn rumors that lead to ancient treasures.

Story mode

Follow the main story and side quests on the path to becoming a powerful Viking leader. Meet NPCs and complete their requests to earn trust and new opportunities. The non-linear storytelling gives you freedom to explore the medieval world.
