Niffelheim v13.01.2023

Niffelheim throws you into a dark, Viking-inspired underworld where fallen warriors still wield their axes and shields. As you wander these frozen plains and shadowy forests, harsh cold and creeping night won’t deter you-here, only the strong survive. Scavenge for food, wood and other raw materials to keep your fires burning and your belly full, then fashion weapons, armor and even traps from bones, fur and metal scraps.

Every enemy you slay-whether skeletal raiders, bloodthirsty undead or towering frost giants-brings you closer to earning your place in Asgard. Build and fortify your own stronghold to withstand relentless assaults from Death Priests’ hordes, and decide whether to bend to their mysterious edicts or defy them and strike back with fury.

Your ultimate goal is to collect the shattered fragments of a mystic portal that leads to the realm of the gods. But those pieces are fiercely guarded by nightmarish creatures: colossal trolls, venomous spiders and legions of the restless dead. Along the way, you’ll explore ancient caves and underground ruins, uncovering powerful artifacts that could tip the final battle in your favor.

In between bloody skirmishes, master alchemical recipes-brew strength-enhancing potions from rare mushrooms and creature parts, cook hearty stews to restore your allies, or concoct deadly poisons to fell the mightiest troll. Every discovery and every blade you forge shapes your fate in this unforgiving netherworld. Will you prove worthy of a warrior’s honor and ascend to glory, or be forgotten beneath the endless ice?
