Hey everyone!
We’ve been hard at work on Roots of Yggdrasil in the last few months, and your feedback on our monthly playtests has been INVALUABLE. Today, we have some VERY exciting news to share in this update. So, without further ado…
ROOTS OF YGGDRASIL WILL LAUNCH ON STEAM EARLY ACCESS ON JANUARY 24TH 2024!!!
While we initially wanted to cross that threshold over the summer, we realized that we needed a bit more time to make sure that the experience would be as engaging, balanced and fun as possible before bringing the game to the public.
The team at ManaVoid is incredibly excited to finally launch the game, which will also be our first major self-published title! As you may know, self-publishing is a way for indies to keep total creative control, and we’re so glad to be able to do it with Roots of Yggdrasil.
Here’s a couple of things you can expect at Early Access launch:
- Visual Update : In preparation for the public release, we’ve put a lot of effort into improving the look of the game. One big thing you’ll notice is how each biome feels more unique and alive. Here’s an example of a map in Vanaheim.
- UI Update : Now that the core mechanics of the game are more defined, we’ve also taken time to polish the Interface. We’ve made it smaller, clearer and also more consistent throughout the game. We also added some quality of life improvements into it, like your overall map progress that’s always visible at the top right! Here’s a peek:
- Content : We’ve been hard at work on adding content for the game. That means more buildings, artifacts, upgrades… and threats! There’s also a new Warden to meet in Nidavellir. Meeting Vidarr will allow you to draft a reusable action card to add to your deck permanently!
- End Game : The big addition you’ll see at the launch of Early Access are Hoenir’s Trials. These trials will allow you to customize your game, challenge yourself and earn more rewards. They should challenge even the most hardened Scions!
We’ll be sharing a complete roadmap for the first few months of Early Access as soon as we launch in late January!
Finally, we want to thank you so, SO much for your support. Roots of Yggdrasil is a game we’ve been wanting to make for years, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your help and unwavering hype for the project.
See you in January!
The ManaVoid Team
