Big Update! We're releasing out of Early Access

Viking Chess: Hnefatafl

Play the ancient game of "Hnefatafl" in style on your PC, in Singleplayer mode against the AI or Multiplayer over the internet. "Hnefatafl" is a strategic, chess-like boardgame with assumed origins all the way back to the Viking era.

Viking Chess: Hnefatafl releases out of Early Access this evening at approximately 19:00 CET! Please join us this evening for online games. We are gathering a little crew of friends and developers to drink a few horns of mead and play the game with you! We want to thank all players during Early Access, for your contribution to making Viking Chess a better game. As a homage to all players that helped out the development of this game, we have implemented an unlockable title in your honor; "Shaman". Win the title ingame by "finding the secret bug"! Among the many fixes and improvements this update, you will find an exciting new feature, namely an unlockable Boardpiece Set. Once you win the set by completing the "Valkyrie" title, you unlock the epic "Valkyrie Set". Since the 16th of October, and during these months of Early Access we have delivered many content updates and patches, improving the game bit by bit. And now, as we move out of Early Access, we are excited to see how the game develops further, hopefully with some more players coming to the game, and maybe a more active multiplayer scene. Personally, I am proud of this little game, and i am very glad for all the positive remarks and feedback on the game. We look forward to your continued feedback, and we are aiming to improve the game further through content updates, also after this period of Early Access. Thank you for your participation in this period of Early Access, and I hope you will enjoy the game for a long time. All the best! - Kenny G
