'Tribes of Midgard' (ALL) Reveals More Gameplay Details - Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 28, 2020 @ 5:21 p.m. PDT

Tribes of Midgard is a cooperative survival game where up to 10 players fiercely fight Giants during Ragnarök.

The Asgardian Gods and the Giants of Jotunheim battle endlessly. Fed up with the constant trickery and deception of the Gods, the Giants have decided to invade Asgard. Much to the dismay of the Vikings of Midgard, the Giants must pass through their realm and regard humanity's impending destruction as a necessary casualty of war. Ragnarök, the death and rebirth of the nine realms, has begun. Yet not all is lost, for the resolute Viking warriors will defend the seeds of the world tree Yggdrasil that binds all realms and protect the Gods.

Customize your character, form a tribe and explore procedurally-generated worlds full of fabled resources and creatures. Defend your village at night from the legions of Hel, and prepare for the Giants’ mighty arrival. Grow ever-stronger by surviving each day, feeding enemy souls to Yggdrasil, and crafting new equipment with the help of the townsfolk. Hack-and-slash combat makes each battle a gripping affair, and weapon-based special moves provide an incentive to search for the rarest materials, whether they come from dangerous faraway lands or the corpses of Giants.

Explore Viking mythology through beautifully hand-painted cel-shaded artwork. Orchestral music solely using instruments from the Viking era sets an ominous tone for the coming apocalypse. Ragnarök is inevitable, but fight fiercely and die a glorious death to ensure the tribe’s brave souls arrive at the gates of Valhalla. Should the seed of Yggdrasil be destroyed, the world collapses and the game is over. Come back stronger and fight for the realm.

Prove yourself as a lone Viking or form a tribe of up to 10 players. The odds are against you, but Valhalla can wait!

Explore the beautiful wilds, encounter mythical beasts, and face mighty Jötunn (Giants) to gain the strength you need to protect the Seed of Yggdrasil. Hunt animals, harvest resources, and fight all manner of enemies to gather what you need to craft weapons, armor, potions, and your village’s defenses.

Plan ahead, because when night falls, Helthings emerge and attack the Seed. And with each passing day, they’ll grow stronger as Ragnarök — the end of the world — approaches. 

Discover new environments as you explore, each with their own resources, enemies, and challenges. Cross winding rivers and deep seas by constructing bridges and ramps as you search for new lands and more powerful resources. Each map is procedurally generated, so you’ll always find new and exciting things to uncover.

The fast-paced, action-packed combat is key to Tribes of Midgard. You’ll battle trolls, dark elves, wolves, and more as you explore the beautiful and dangerous wilds. You’ll even encounter sudden events across the world, such as storming a camp to rescue a prisoner from a cursed elf witch or battling mythological beasts for unexpected rewards. 

And as your enemies fall before you, they drop souls which you feed to the Seed of Yggdrasil to keep it alive.

With each action you take, your Viking gains experience, turning you from naked villager into a true force of nature. Choose from one of four classes, each with its own special perks, and equip armour and weapons that fit your playstyle — from hunting bows, to hammers that deal devastating blows, or spell-slinging swords.

But of all the challenges you face, none will compare to the Giants. Drawn from their slumber by the approaching doom, these colossal bosses seek to destroy the Seed. To defeat them, you’ll have to play smart and put all your preparation and skills to the test.

Each Giant presents a unique challenge. Whether it’s a fiery sword slamming down with otherworldly fury, a snowball hurtling towards you with the might of a blizzard, or an encounter with a shape-shifting thunderstorm, you must be ready to fight. With the right gear, teamwork, and a little luck, you just might defeat them and receive powerful rare loot.

And if the Seed falls and the world goes to ruin, just start over and try again!

No matter how you play, your tribe has a home for you. So stand together explorers, builders, Giant slayers, and defenders of the Seed — Ragnarök awaits!
