Greetings Vikings!

We hope you’ve had a good ending to 2024, and that 2025 is treating you well thus far! Here at Iron Gate we’re still fully focused on developing the Deep North biome, and we have our hands full with enemies, weapons and dungeons alike.

This month’s teaser is going to take on a slightly different form than what we’re all used to, however. Starting today, you’ll get to follow the journey of a viking as she travels to the Deep North and explores the new landscape there. Allow us to introduce you to Hervor Bloodtooth:

She has arrived! Her adventure will continue – as will the sneak peeks of the Deep North – in the next blog post, with another short episode. Don’t miss out!

If you’re not a fan of videos, we’ll of course continue to tease with images as well. Landing in the D... Read more

Hello vikings!

It’s getting cold and snowy here in our northern part of the world, which is giving us plenty of inspiration for our work on the Deep North. Like we said last time, we’ve got everyone focused on the biome update now, but a lot of what we’ve got cooking we’d like to keep a bit secret so that you’ll get to properly experience it for the first time once you get to play.

With that said though, we won’t be going completely dark either! This month we have snuck our teaser into a little Yule Card from the Deep North. Can you find the new build piece?



The build piece you see here is of course not going to be the only new build piece in the Deep North either; there will be plenty of options for builders to choose from!

Other than working away on the Deep North it’s been a pretty quiet month here at Iron Gate, so this is gonna b... Read more
