A fierce struggle is taking place within Asgard, the realm of the Norse
Gods. The battle has escalated, spilling over to the mortal world of
Midgard and now a Champion must be found, a Warrior than can sway this
war that threatens the
fate of Asgard and the Gods themselves.
The
goddess Hel daughter of Loki, Norse God of mischief, has been banished
from the heavenly kingdom of Asgard for defying Odins rule. Angry at
her fate, she seeks to release the ancient wolf-god Fenrir which legend
tells will bring about Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle that will
destroy Asgard and the Gods. With her army of resurrected Viking
warriors, Hel marches on the unsuspecting mortal realm of
Midgard.
Odins daughter Freya, goddess of love and wisdom, is
appointed the task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind.
For her champion she chooses Skarin, a great but troubled young
warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods and
thrust into the midst of their bitter war.
As Skarin, players will
experience unparalleled battle scenes, leading the charge in a titanic
clash between powerful gods and mere men. War on an unprecedented scale
will rage across a beautifully realised Viking landscape. Vast, living
islands, free form worlds filled with discovery, stealth, brutal combat
and culminating in epic battles the like of which have never been seen
