Nordic Games Picks Up Battle Chasers: Nightwar to Aid in Development

Nordic Games have announced they’ve acquired the publishing duties for Airship Syndicate’s love-letter to classic Japanese RPGs – Battle Chasers: Nightwar.

The new partnership will ensure that Airship Syndicate can add in more 2D animations, more regions, and full voice acting for the Kickstarter-funded game – which is set to release across PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

It’s worth mentioning these new additions were stretch goals for the game’s Kickstarter campaign, which despite raising over $850,000, didn’t make the last three goals. Featured above, you can view a new trailer released to celebrate the partnership.


“I had gotten to know the guys at Nordic shortly after they acquired the Darksiders license,” said Airship Syndicate president and Battle Chasers: Nightwar lead designer Ryan Stefanelli.

“After the Kickstarter campaign closed, we started to talk with them about acting as a co-funder and publisher to help us reach some of the stretch goals we’d narrowly missed out on. Doing so is going to be great for our fans and backers, and also allows us as a studio to focus on game development more than publishing.”

Here are the game’s key features:

  • Classic JRPG-style combat with randomly generated dungeons, loot and skillshots
  • Story driven by item and lore discovery
  • Player-driven dungeon difficulty – give them tools for playing with dungeon generation
  • Randomly generated dungeons with traps, puzzles and secrets
  • High difficulty ceiling
  • Town upgrading
  • Classic Combat in a Tech Infused Fantasy World
  • Random Dungeons With 5+ Stars Of Difficulty Each
  • Craft, Barter and Prepare for the Road Ahead
  • Unravel the Mysteries of the Crescent Isle

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is set to launch across PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One “at the end of 2016.”
