Northgard Battlegrounds, the city-building auto-battler set in the Viking world of Northgard has an open beta running from July 9 to July 15 and Bleeding Cool has the latest news on it!
Northgard Battlegrounds places gamers in the shoes of a Viking tribe looking to take over Northgard. Build a village, expand the settlement, and take the fight to other clans. Fights happen on their own, so the key is properly preparing to take on opposing villages. Take stock of the environment and make it work to the clan’s advantage. Build the right resource gathering pieces and the clan will prosper in battle, build incorrectly and the village will be picking up the pieces for a while after.
Funday Games and Shiro Unlimited announced that they will be holding a week-long Open Beta forNorthgard Battlegrounds, set to kick off in mid-July. The test will run from July 9-15, tying into Steam’s TactiCon, one of the several themed weeks the platform holds tied to a specific genre. The test will allow players to experience the current build of the game while also allowing the team to see what still needs work. Since it’s an Open Beta, you don’t really need to sign up for anything; you just need to keep an eye on its launch date.
Choose from iconic Viking clans, each offering distinct traits, abilities, and playstyles, then establish a thriving settlement, gather vital resources, and assemble a powerful warband capable of crushing rival clans. Every decision shapes the outcome of battle. Carefully manage resources, strategically position buildings to unlock powerful synergies, then watch your warriors clash in dynamic automated battles. Earn Krowns after every victory to expand your settlement, recruit new villagers, and strengthen your economy. Spend Lore to earn the favor of the Norse Gods, unlocking game-changing blessings that can dramatically alter each run.
Northgard Battlegrounds is coming in 2026 to Early Access on PC Via Steam.
