Developer Arctic Hazard and publisher Tripwire Presents just announced a bit of a delay for Norse: Oath of Blood. This Viking's themed turn-based tactical title has been pushed back by just two weeks, from its original February 3rd release to a February 17th release date on PC. The console versions will be out this spring.
The usual reasons for game delays apply here. That is, the team at Arctic Hazard would like to take a bit of extra time to ensure players "have the best Viking tactics experience possible."
Norse: Oath of Blood is coming to Steam, GOG, Epic, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
