Shiro Games, makers of Evoland and Evoland 2, have announced the date their next project Northgard will hit Steam Early Access.
The strategy, sandbox survival game will launch for PC via Early Access on February 22nd. Featured above, a gameplay reveal trailer was published to give a better look at what to expect in the frigid, unrelenting viking-themed game.
Players take control of a viking clan who arrive upon mysterious and unforgiving shores, after which you’ll have to fight and establish your village, gather up resources, and grow your clan so you can defeat your enemies. You’ll combat things like: undead warriors, giants, dragons and others.
Here are the debut screenshots:
