A fierce struggle is taking place within Asgard, the realm of the
Norse Gods. The battle has escalated, spilling over to the mortal
world of Midgard and now a Champion must be found, a Warrior than
can sway this war that threatens the fate of Asgard and the Gods
themselves. The goddess Hel – daughter of Loki, Norse God of
mischief, has been banished from the heavenly kingdom of Asgard for
defying Odin’s rule. Angry at her fate, she seeks to release the
ancient wolf-god Fenrir which legend tells will bring about
Ragnarok – the apocalyptic battle that will destroy Asgard and the
Gods. With her army of resurrected Viking warriors, Hel marches on
the unsuspecting mortal realm of Midgard. Odin’s daughter Freya,
goddess of love and wisdom, is appointed the task of stopping Hel
and defending the future of mankind. For her champion she chooses
Skarin, a great but troubled young warrior, ignorant of the true
reason for his favour with the Gods and thrust into the midst of
their bitter war. As Skarin, players will experience unparalleled
battle scenes, leading the charge in a titanic clash between
powerful gods and mere men. War on an unprecedented scale will rage
across a beautifully realised Viking landscape.
