I know historically speaking vikings maybe weren’t the best bunch, what with all the raiding and killing and so on and so forth. But darn it all if they aren’t a ton of fun to play as in a video game.Whether you’re trekking through the clearly Scandinavian-inspired wintry peaks ofSkyrim, or finding your own slice of English paradise inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, there’s always a good time to be had when you’re a viking. Heck, evenFor Honoroffers some bone-crunchingly slick viking action that’s well worth a look.Anyway, if you’re looking that next viking fix (or you’re just tired ofSkyrimand want something a little different) then there’s a brand-new game onSteamthat you can check out forfreeright now. It’s an open-world viking RPG that looks like the lovechild ofThe Elder Scrollsand Assassin’s Creed, with a little pinch ofFar Cry Primalthrown in for funsies.AdvertThe game in question is calledViking Frontiers, and it currently has a free demo as part ofSteam Next Festthat I think you’ll definitely want to check out.“A series of unfortunate events has brought you to an unknown shore, and it is your task to transform it into your new home and fortress,” reads the game’s Steam description. “Can you rally the remnants of your clan? Can you handle the hardships of nature? And most importantly - can you maintain the old traditions and faith despite hostile Christian zealots*? The fate of your people rests on your shoulders.“Viking Frontierspromises plenty of quests and deep survival mechanics as you explore and work to build a home for your people. It could very well end up falling between the cracks and into the hell where the other several thousand rubbish survival games on Steam lives, butViking Frontiersseems to have some things going for it. We’ll know for sure when the full game launches, though the release date is currently TBC.*This sounds a lot like where I grew up in the East Midlands to be honest.Featured Image Credit: GamehuntersTopics:Skyrim,Assassins Creed,Assassins Creed Valhalla,Steam,Free Games
