Youkoso!

Happy Holidays, dear community!

The year is drawing to a close, and we would like to take this opportunity to say thank you – for all the wonderful settlements you have built and the unforgettable adventures you have shared with our wild boars and wolves.

May your holidays shine!

Stay healthy, stay strong – and don't forget to enjoy a great time AFK, too. If you don't want to be AFK: feel free to play a game in the deep snow of permafrost, you might meet a few snarling acquaintances there!

Here's to many more exciting gaming adventures in the new year 2025!

See you soon!

PS: If you fancy some ice and snow, why not try the Permafrost demo!

Sæl, Viking! Sæl, Valkyrie!

Are you ready to brave the storm-tossed and raging seas? Do the gods smile on you? Do you have the courage, strength and wisdom to become a Jarl?

Then board your dragon boat and set out on an epic journey that will take you to the starting point of the raid that the skalds will sing about for hundreds of winters in the longhouses. Become part of Vikings Dynasty!

Here in the far north, life is hard, rough and relentless. Here life means fighting for survival every day! Whether on a boat in the middle of the stormy sea, surrounded by your loyal, battle-hardened warriors and Valkyries, or on barren earth, where Uller and Skadi make life difficult for you and your clan – you must prove that you are a true leader.

Discover an open world full of secrets, dangers and breathtaking beauty!

Build your own kingdom. Use tools and raw materials to build a mighty village and turn it into a fortress of the north.

Conquer the wilderness. Hunt wild animals, explore unknown islands and face the terrors of nature.

Rule over land and sea. Build ships, master fishing and guide your tribe through treacherous waters.

But that's just the beginning. Gain followers, forge alliances and lay the foundation for a dynasty that will outlast the legends. Master the art of agriculture, perfect your shipbuilding skills and lead your settlement to prosperity and power. Rise to become the unchallenged Jarl and reach for the stars – who knows, perhaps Valhalla is written in your destiny.

Will you go down in the annals of history, or will you be blown away in the cold winds of the north? The gods are watching. Now is your time!

We found a bug with family quests in version 1.0.0.10 of the game. In some cases (usually in big villages) multiple NPCs could have started acting as your spouse. In 1.0.1.0 this will no longer be an issue for new games. For affected saved games please follow these steps:

• Backup your save game
  
• Load the save
  
• Find the spouse you married and talk to him/her
  
• If the save is affected, you will see a repair dialogue asking you to confirm that the NPC you’re talking to is in fact the one you chose as your spouse

Once you do that, the issue will be fixed: you should be able to progress the family quest normally, the spouse marker will appear, and no other NPC will behave as your spouse
If you end up assigning a wrong NPC as your spouse, reload the backed up save and try again
