If you are a fan of building games with a pixelated look and a Viking setting, Sons of Valhalla might be worth a look. The debut work of two brothers who founded the Pixel Chest studio now has a release date.

Publisher Hooded Horse already has popular and highly anticipated strategy games in its portfolio, Against the Storm and Manor Lords.

Sons Of Valhalla Is Now Scheduled To Release

Sons of Valhalla is scheduled for release on April 5, 2024, after being in development for quite some time. The game is currently being released on PC only, with plans to release on the Epic Games Store and GOG in addition to Steam.

What is Sons of Valhalla about?

The 2D sidescroller will feature a six-chapter story mode in which you must avenge your wife's kidnapper, as well as an endless horde mode. You build and upgrade buildings to gather resources and create better units. Fortifications turn settlements into strongholds that you must defend against attackers. Fight battles yourself with sword, spear, or bow, or give direct orders to your troops. You can also lay siege to other castles and conquer them.
