SEGA kunne allerede tilbage i august måned afsløre deres “hack’n’slash-actionspil”, Viking: Battle For Asgard. Som titlen også indikerer, bør spillet gå rent ind hos især skandinaverne, da der er tale om drabelige kampe mellem grumme vikinger. Den medfølgende beskrivelse er af lidt ældre dato, men da vi ikke før har skrevet omkring denne titel, napper vi også den med i dag. Viking: Battle For Asgard vil udelukkende blive udgivet til Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 og forventes klar i løbet af de første tre måneder af det kommende år. Dagens fire billeder er fra Xbox 360-udgaven.
SEGA® Europe Ltd and SEGA® of America, Inc. has announced VIKING: Battle For Asgard™, the latest console title from the award winning and critically acclaimed development studio, The Creative Assembly. As Skarin, a new iconic gaming hero, experience the violent yet spectacular world of the Vikings and their Gods on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the Sony PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system, early in 2008.
A fierce struggle is taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods. The Goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate, Hel has raised an army of undead warriors to enslave the mortal realm of Midgard, and then provoke Ragnarok – the apocalyptic battle that that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves. The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin, a promising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods…
Leave a bloody trail of dismembered foes as you master an involving and addictive combat style with destructive mythical powers and abilities. Explore vast and visually stunning open-world environments whilst slaying your enemies with a huge array of devastating and brutal combat moves. Tame mighty dragons and unleash their rain of fire, laying waste to the enemy hordes that stand in your way. Free enslaved warriors to wage war on Hel’s legion and lead them into huge, epic battles featuring colossal giants, powerful shaman, deadly assassins and Hel’s own champions. Here players can use Skarin’s emerging skills to help turn the tide of conflict with a timely murder or through the brutality of a visceral wave of slaughter.






























Åh nej, Det ligner Japansk Hack n’ Slash med combo’er osv…
Muskelmænd i lændeklæder.. Ikke så meget viking der..
#2 tænkte præsis det samme.. Hvor er skægget? Hvor er øl maven? Where are the bitches??
Det går da rigtig nok ned ad bakke for SEGA
jeg synes det ser blæret ud… men det vinder nok ikke priser for innovation
Det minder mig om Conan – kan sku godt lide noget hack n’slash i ny og næ, så Viking skal nok blive spas
#2 Det ligger ikke længere væk fra den traditionelle skildring af vikinger med rødt skæg, horn osv.
