NORSE: Oath of Blood Overview

NORSE: Oath of Blood is a 2026 tactical turn-based strategy game set during the Viking Age. As a standalone historical saga, it casts players as a newly risen jarl determined to rebuild a fractured clan and carve a path of vengeance across Norway. The game launched on Steam and Epic Games on February 17, 2026. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S version of the game will be released in Spring 2026.

Set in the rugged landscapes and volatile politics of medieval Norway, players must take on the role of jarl as they work to restore their settlement, secure alliances, and outmaneuver rival clans in a land ruled by steel and oath. Combining deliberate turn-based combat with settlement management and diplomatic strategy, players must lead on both the battlefield and in the longhouse, where every decision shapes the fate of their people.
