Hey guys!
We're so glad to see that you adopted the Clan of the Boar!
We know you cannot wait for new stuff coming to Northgard ;)
As the official release approaches, it seemed important to give you an overview of what's coming in the game for the last phase of Early Access!
Until multiplayer patch
We've identified a few problems and bugs with the current version of the game, and we're working on solving these :)
Multiplayer Patch - December
This update will introduce something that many of you asked: Dedicated servers.
Those servers will hopefully grant you more stable and less laggy games, solving the issues of hosts disconnecting!
We'll add many more things to make the experience more fun and intuitive:
- The possibility to choose a different difficulty for Northgard (as the environment) and for each AI individually
- The possibility to kick someone from the lobby (he won't be able to join again)
- The players leaving a game will be replaced by an AI
- The AI will have a more human behavior
In this patch we plan to entirely revisit the Trade Victory, more information about it will soon come.
We'll also add some other smaller things that were missing in the game.
First Campaign update - January 2018
We'll unveal the first 4 chapters of the campaign in the beginning of 2018.
This campaign will tell a story about a young Viking Warchief and his quest for colonizing Northgard!
The player will meet each clan one after the other, interact with them (not all of them have good intentions ;) )
Some changes to the UI and Key Binding will also be implemented at this time.
The end of Early Access Period
We intend to fully release Northgard in Februray-March 2018 (this is an objective, not a certainty ^^).
The period of time between the January update and the official release will be dedicated on solving every little problem that we identify!
Northgard after its official release
The official launch of the game will not mean the end of new features addition, and we're looking into adding new clans, gameplay mechanics, etc...
What would you like to see added into the game? Tell us :-)
