Players can also join villages of mighty Viking clans and take part in day-to-day Nordic life. They are able to improve village structures, broker alliances with other villages and use those alliances to conquer other villages. Might makes right certainly holds true in the Viking age.
A 40-second trailer was released along with the game's announcement and it shows most of the title's core gameplay. From the looks of it, "Valnir Rok" certainly has what it takes to be a great survival sandbox game.
Encurio is set to launch closed alpha tests this weekend in preparation for Gamescom 2017. Interested gamers can register on the official website and experience the brutal world of "Valnir Rok."
Admission will be conducted in waves with each group being able to enter as soon as reasonably possible. The closed alpha tests will begin on Friday, Aug. 4 at 3:01 EDT until Monday, Aug. 7 at 2:59 a.m. EDT.
The duration of the tests is subject to change and might be longer and shorter than previous waves. All this is at the developer's discretion.
"Valnir Rok" is set to be released on Steam's Early Access this September with a full release to be announced at a later date.
