In VIKING: Battle for Asgard, a fierce struggle is taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods. The Goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate, Hel has raised an army of undead warriors to enslave the mortal realm of Midgard, and then provoke Ragnarok- the apocalyptic battle that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves.
The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin, a prmising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods.
This is where ‘YOU’ come in! Yes, you will be playing as Skarin, a new iconic gaming hero.
“Skarin is a cutting edge hero in a fantastic re-imagining of Norse mythology. Skarin is obviously a very dangerous man. Add in his inner conflict, a confused heritage and growing distrusts of the Gods and you have the makings of gaming’s next great hero,” saidGary Knight, European marketing Director Sega Europe.
Sega’s VIKING: Battle for Asgard is due to be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles sometime in early 2008. Yes, pirates and ninja’s are a thing of the past. Now, it’s vikings all the way!
