Hello hello!
Nice to see you two times this week!
Niflheim Beta
Today we are so happy to release the 7th Realm on Beta mode: Niflheim! This is the realm where everything started. Its deep layers of ice make it the coldest realm on Norse mythology.
You will meet Auðumbla, the Primal Cow, one of the first beings ever created. Also meet Buri, the first of Gods and grandfather to Odin.
We’re gonna swap two final bosses
While developing the game, we thought Ymir would fit great on Jotunheim, as he was the father of giants. However, Ymir is also the first being that ever existed. And that’s why we are going to swap things around and make him the final boss on Niflheim.
But, what about Jotunheim then? We decided to ask Jörð, Thor’s mom if she would like to defend her realm, and she proudly accepted.
So, in this update, you will fight Jörð as final boss on Niflheim to test her strength on the Beta. In a few weeks we will swap Ymir and Jord so everything makes sense and players don’t feel that confused with this change. We hope we explained ourselves!
Let us know what you think about the Beta! As always, we’re open to all of your feedback. Thanks in advance for letting us know any issues or suggestions 😊
