A fierce struggle is taking place within Asgard, the realm of the Norse
Gods. The battle has escalated, spilling over to the mortal world of
Midgard and now a Champion must be found, a Warrior than can sway this
war that threatens the fate of Asgard and the Gods themselves.
The goddess Hel – daughter of Loki, Norse God of mischief, has been
banished from the heavenly kingdom of Asgard for defying Odin’s rule.
Angry at her fate, she seeks to release the ancient wolf-god Fenrir
which legend tells will bring about Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle
that will destroy Asgard and the Gods. With her army of resurrected
Viking warriors, Hel marches on the unsuspecting mortal realm of
Midgard.
Odin’s daughter Freya, goddess of love and wisdom, is appointed the
task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind. For her
champion she chooses Skarin, a great but troubled young warrior,
ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods and thrust
into the midst of their bitter war.
As Skarin, players will experience unparalleled battle scenes, leading
the charge in a titanic clash between powerful gods and mere men. War
on an unprecedented scale will rage across a beautifully realised
Viking landscape. Vast, living islands, free form worlds filled with
discovery, stealth, brutal combat and culminating in epic battles the
like of which have never been seen on console before.
