Frozenheim Sails to Steam Early Access this May

Make Odin Proud and Reach Valhalla

Today, developer Paranoid Interactive and publisher Hyperstrange have announced a new Viking RTS adventure that will be making its appearance very soon. Entitled Frozenheim, you play the leader of a growing settlement after escaping the wretched turmoils from back home. The title is coming to Steam Early Access.

With winter approaching, it becomes your duty to administer an epic conquest of progress and victory. By fishing, foraging, hunting, and raiding, the settlement will continue to expand as the seasons proceed to pass. The city-building mechanics allow the player to layout their own structures with the resources they’ve gathered. In addition to the raids, it’s possible to see folks turn into foes should you upset the wrong person. These can be dealt with either on foot or on your drakkar in the game’s merciless real-time strategy action.

Many of the confirmed mechanics in Frozenheim are shown in the reveal trailer. Accompanied by an insightful narrator, the video slideshows through cold and blistering landscapes while peeping at the city-building and RTS aspects. Altogether, it wraps with the vital reminder to endure the hardships and thrive to the top.

The game’s development comes from the Paranoid Interactive team, who utilized the Unreal Engine to create this Viking title. Frozenheim will also feature a Photo Mode for players to mess around with.

When to Expect from Frozenheim

Frozenheim will be launching on Steam Early Access with a few basic components to get players started. Given that the game is in a rather unfinished state, the developers will give intrigued players a few elements. These include the prologue, a free-play mode, and a standard multiplayer element. A monthly update is in place from the publisher and developer in order to grow the game’s presence, which will eventually lead to its 2022 release.

Players can now wishlist the game through Steam for its Early Access release. It will be dropping on May 20 of this year. Let us know in the comment if you’re excited for another Norse-based experience where management and raiding go hand-in-hand.
