Players sail to Viking lands in a fun and stylized art direction inspired by Norse mythology. Only the most experienced Vikings will be able to collect all the gold medals, beat the best scores, achieve unparalleled combos and put their name on the leaderboard.

Challenge yourself in frenzied real-time races for up to 6 players thanks to the PvP multiplayer mode!The cross-play functionality promises intense games between players of different platforms. In solo mode, the most competitive players will be able to race against ghost ships.

New exclusive additional content and the highly anticipated Oculus Quest 2 compatibility!

Early access allowed the studio to develop the game taking into account the community’s feedback.. It is through regular updates (Alfheim Update, Nidavellir Update, Asgard Update …) that the studio has committed to evolving the game with regular additions of music, features, and environments.

96% positive reviews and an Early Access version already poised with an award
