Hi Vikings,
What a month it's been so far- we hope you're all keeping safe and healthy. We're all working from home now, but still working on Tribes of Midgard as usual! 🙂 Just getting used to the new setup. We even have a couple of furry new coworkers... meet Pichu and Quinoa!
It means a lot to us to hear you want to play the game! Though, we've still got some new features to add in before we can open it up again, and we'll give you some more news as soon as we possibly can. Thanks for being patient!

The Localization Team is an amazing group of players in our Discord, translating Tribes into 23 languages! We're very lucky to have them, and some languages are so close to being 100% translated, but they need some help!
Join the Localization Team on Discord!
Once you're in our Discord, just message Sydnee, JiPay, or any of our Mods to be added to the team! Here's some language progress so far! 👇
This month we also asked you which Giant you think is coming next... here are some of your replies! Must say, you had some great guesses:
We're opening up Moderator applications for our Discord server! If you'd like to join our tribe, support the community, and inherit secret powers, apply by Sunday, April 5th! We'll reach out to chosen Mods on Monday the 6th, then announce the mods on Tuesday the 7th.
Our tribe grows stronger! We welcomed Marie this month, she's our new 3D artist here at Norsfell 😀 As usual we had a little axe ceremony...
That's all for now! Hope you're playing lots of games, and stay safe everyone!
Until next time,
Sydnee, JP, and the Norsfell Team 🗻
