Northgard: Battleborn Early Access Launches on Android Globally

If you're a fan of Norse mythology and tactical battles, there's some exciting news for you. Frimastudio's latest addition to the Northgard universe, Northgard: Battleborn, has just landed in early access on Android for players in the US and Canada. This isn't just a rehash of the original—Battleborn shakes things up with some fresh gameplay twists while keeping that iconic Norse vibe.

What’s It Gonna Be Like?

One of the more talked about components of Northgard: Battleborn is the 3v3 tactical battles. Picking your Warchief, a badass Viking warrior with unique skills, is key to winning. Your choice here really shapes how you approach each fight, making strategy a big part of the fun.

Additionally, the early access game introduces a deck-building mechanic. You can customize your decks with cards that provide spells, buffs, and summonable allies through this feature. You’ll need to choose and manage your deck to support the Warchief and maximize effectiveness in battle. The game challenges you with raids against creatures straight out of Norse legend, so you’ll need to think smart and play your cards right to come out on top.

Northgard: Battleborn is available for early Android access in the US and Canada via the Google Play Store. This phase allows the developers to gather feedback from players and make any necessary adjustments about bugs, voice over issues, or optimization problems before the full release. Based on player feedback during this period, the developers may continue to refine and expand the game, which could influence the final version at launch. At this time, there are no official announcements regarding a global launch.
