We might not have gotten our wish for The Sims 4 to get a Viking or Norse Mythology inspired pack, but there is something else to fill the void.
Described as being in the classic building simulator gaming category with real-time strategy included in the game play, the game was announced by solo developer Roslagen recently.
Like other era-simulators, Viking City Builder will task players with building quintessential Viking buildings for their conquerors to settle. There will be blood and battles between Viking troops and medieval European armies.
The pre-alpha footage and trailer recently released on Steam looks impressive, even more so when you consider this is the work of a single person.
Classic Nordic landscapes are dotted with Viking architecture. Ship construction, training for battle, hunting for food and housing settlements all feature in impressive detail in the trailer.
Viking City Builder will rely on recent RTX efforts to bring the Viking era to life. The game’s developer notes: The game features stellar graphics powered by the Unreal Engine. It is also first strategy game that uses Ray Tracing to enhance the visuals! The Northern Fjords were never before as gorgeous.
