[quote]Hello Everyone! After a good month working on the previous update as well as planning the incoming year, we can now present what awaits you this year in Northgard! You can expect a new way of handling the updates, and some content added thanks to the feedback and suggestion of the active players of the community. Enough talk for now, here is the plans for Northgard in 2024...[/quote] [h1]THE COMING UPDATES[/h1] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/25920479/80c84aba9034a2ace014d4c7efd6b5203cd0a78e.png[/img] [h2]Rivals & Allies[/h2] As stated last year, the [b]Lobby Finder[/b] was tested in Multiplayer and we received a lot of feedback and suggestions to improve on the current system. That is why our first update will focus on this as well as other improvements on the [b]UI[/b] that were long requested. More news will be shared soon, and you can already set yourself for an [b]open beta[/b] incoming later this month to test it all out before it goes live!

At first the community update, adding new content for everyone to enjoy for free Then, nurturing on the new content of the last update, a new clan for everyone to claim and master For [b]Claws & Jaws[/b], expect a focus on the wild beasts of Northgard, and a new clan being as feral and [b]aggressive[/b] as them. For [b]Trade & Prestige[/b], we’ll look into a way to enhance the experience of the victory of the same name. Giving it more depth and adding a new challenge on it. This will be added with several enhancements around that subject and with a new clan focused on the [b]economy[/b].

The survey showed a deep care for the actual format of the conquest as well as a desire to discover a new format for those missions. With that in mind, we’ll come back on this during the summer with more information for you to have.
