Developed by
acclaimed
studio, The
Creative

Viking:
Battle for
Asgard is a
new and
horrific
twist on
Norse
mythology
that allows
players to
feel the
power of a
true Viking
hero.
Viking:
Battle For
Asgard™
thrusts
players into
a
mythological
world
overrun with
demonic
warriors
unleashed by
Hel, the
Norse
goddess of
the
underworld.
As Skarin, a
rage-fueled
Viking hero,
players will
wage all-out
war to free
mankind from
the grip of
evil and
ultimate
annihilation.
Players can
command
dragons and
wield fire,
ice, and
lightning,
laying waste
to enemies
in either
small
skirmishes
or epic
battles
featuring
hundreds of
warriors.
Enemies will
suffer
graphic
dismemberment
with
disturbing
realism from
an array of
Skarin’s
melee,
range, and
magic
attacks.
Upgradable
combat
skills and
Skarin’s
otherworldly
abilities
create an
ever-changing
landscape of
epic
violence and
heroic
victory.
Viking:
Battle for
Asgard for
Xbox 360 and
PLAYSTATION
