The long boats are hitting new shores! If you’ve been looking for a reason to unleash your inner Jarl on the big screen, your prayers to Odin have officially been answered.

Viking Frontiers, the ambitious open-world title that first challenged PC players to conquer the brutal northern wilderness, is finally making its grand debut on next-gen consoles.

Get your axes ready: the game officially launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on July 9.

What is Viking Frontiers?

Developed by independent Polish studio BLUM Entertainment (and brought to consoles by Wildlands Interactive), Viking Frontiers isn’t your standard, run-of-the-mill survival game. It is a massive, multi-genre hybrid that brilliantly mashes together:

• Deep RPG mechanics to build your legacy and skills.
• Immersive simulation features like hunting, crafting, and enduring harsh weather.
• Strategic settlement management to expand your village from a few ragged tents into a fortified fortress.

You take on the role of a leader thrust onto an unknown, unforgiving shore after a series of unfortunate events. The ultimate goal? Ensure the survival, growth, and glory of your newly founded Viking clan.

Manage, Build, and Raid

Survival in Viking Frontiers requires a delicate balance of brains and brawn. As the Jarl, you aren’t just fighting off the elements and wild beasts—you are responsible for the actual livelihood of your clansmen. You will need to manage your village’s laws, dictate daily activities, handle resource allocation, and maintain living conditions.

Whether you decide to prioritise the path of a hunter, a master builder, a pious priest, or a ruthless raider is entirely up to you.

Survival tip: The northern wilderness is unyielding. Watch the weather, keep your people fed, and remember: survival is the only thing that matters.
