Our vision is bold

A game world that spans all Nine Worlds (Asgard, Midgard, Jotunheim, etc.), each with unique gameplay mechanics, creatures, and challenges, allowing players to truly feel they are traversing the Norse cosmos.

The story focuses on Ragnarök and the critical moments leading up to it, with players influencing the events that will determine the fate of the gods and the world.

Players assume the role of an Einherji—an elite warrior chosen by the gods. Tasked with locating the hidden "Seed of Renewal," they must ensure the rebirth of the world.
