Hello warchiefs,
Northgard Definitive Edition is available now. This free major update brings brand new content, and a host of changes, improvements and community requests to the base game!
To celebrate the release, Northgard Definitive Edition and its DLC are up to 60% off their price!
The Definitive Edition now includes the base game, the Cross of Vidar expansion pack, 3 additional clans, "the art of Northgard" digital artbook and is priced at $34.99
What does this mean for you?
More content, like the Valhalla biome and Frostbite Bifrost mode have also been added to the game. We covered these new additions and more in our previous blog.
But we saved some surprises for today!
We heard your requests for more skins when the shop update was announced, so we've designed some new ones:
We’ve also made some changes to the Map Editor, as we know there are quite a few vikings out there that enjoy making special maps for others to enjoy!
From today’s update scripts can be made independently from a map. This means the same script can be played on different maps in custom games. You can read more about this change in the changelog below under the Mods sections.
Whether you’ve been playing for years, months, or just joining us, the whole team here at Shiro thanks you for supporting our game!
We hope you enjoy this update and can’t wait to see you on the Isle of Northgard!

Hey Vikings! Prepare to return to Northgard at its finest with the release of the Definitive Edition on December 4th. This new edition is a tribute to eight years of battles, sagas, and to you, our incredible community, that made it all possible thanks to your support. After years of developing the game with you, the time is right for one final update. The Definitive Edition will add new content to the game but also change what the base game is by including additional clans and campaign. These changes will take place on December 4th in the form of a free major update if you already own Northgard. Today we’re showcasing all the changes that are coming to Northgard with the Definitive Edition. |
A new biome available for all with the definitive edition.
The heroes' resting place. The one the legends speak of. After all those years of battling your way through the harsh winters, the unending attacks, and the treacherous hazards of Northgard, you are finally here. And the guardians have no intention of letting you in. You didn't think this would end without one last fight, did you?
The Bifrost Realms are being added to Singleplayer and Multiplayer game modes so that you can finally fight against other vikings in the heat of Muspellheim or in the salty desert of Idavoll!
A new “Frostbite” challenge is also being added to Bifrost!
If you manage to triumph over the realms, you’ll be able to increase the difficulty via chosen handicaps in exchange of valuable rewards for your run.
The in-game shop is reworked to better represent the different skins and townhall you’ll be able to claim using your irons. You will also find a new villager skin available by completing the game entirely!
An art gallery is integrated containing every artwork made during the development of Northgard.
The Definitive Edition will also include the base game, the Cross of Vidar expansion pack, 3 additional clans, "the art of Northgard" digital artbook and will be priced at $34.99.
In line with Steam’s requirements, we’re updating the price today. This update allows us to offer you a special launch discount when the Definitive Edition releases. Regional pricing is updated to match Steam’s latest recommendations and reflect the added content in this edition.
If you own Northgard but don’t own any or some of the DLC mentioned above, the DLC will be integrated to your game in a free update.
If you own Northgard and all of the DLC mentioned above, you won’t be impacted by these changes.
If you don’t own Northgard, we recommend waiting until December 4th before purchasing the Definitive Edition to take advantage of a special launch discount!
After uniting all of the clans behind him, Rig will have to prepare them against Ragnarök but the clan’s faith in the King seems to diminish as time passes. It might be time for them to find a new home, but this won’t be an easy task…
Discover this new story campaign, and play as the Kingdom of the Lion, the very first of its kind
After years of conquest across Northgard, the first three additional clans becomes available to all that own the Definitive Edition. Those shaped the foundations of what an additional clan is, with unique mechanics that proved their use on the battlefield over many fights.
The Clan of the Snake, gathers some of the most roguish vikings to set foot on the continent of Northgard. Led by Signy, the Spear Maiden, the cunning members of the clan have little regard for fame or honour and would rather use guerilla tactics to dominate their enemies than open warfare.
Exhausters of life, Nidhog’s followers exploit thralls to fuel their ravenous economy and human sacrifice to produce their wicked dragon essence. This sinister power can ultimately turn them into dragonkins, revealing their inhumanity.
Led by Brok and Eitria, two spirited siblings, the Clan of the Horse are a quiet and sturdy people. They are also recognized by all as the best craftsmen and women of the known world.
The art of Northgard with dozens of official and unpublished illustrations, early concepts, and other exclusive works offers a fascinating look behind the scenes in the creation of Northgard. The 155 pages of artworks will be available directly alongside your treasures
We wouldn’t be celebrating eight years of update without the unwavering support of our community, who has stood by us all this time.
You have actively supported the game’s development, taken part in the betas, and some of you were even there during Early Access. For all of that, we thank you deeply, and we look forward to seeing you again in December for the Definitive Edition, available to all of you!
