The Viking MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising has now received an official release date for Korea. In addition to the announcement, developer Lionheart Studios has introduced new gameplay. MeinMMO summarizes the latest information.
What is Odin: Valhalla Rising? It is an MMORPG from South Korea, published by Black Desert publisher Kakao Games.
The world of the game is based on Norse mythology and is designed to provide a lot of variety. There, you will encounter gods, creatures like dragons, giants, and other monsters.
When is the MMORPG set to be released? During a showcase, Lionheart Studios announced the launch for South Korea. Odin will be released there on June 29, 2021.
In this context, several new gameplay videos have also been released, showcasing various elements of the game.
New scenes from Odin with the game world, classes, and bosses
In total, three gameplay videos with various scenes of Odin have been released. They provide a glimpse of the MMORPG and different areas of the game.
The game world of Odin
This is what to expect in the world of the MMORPG: In the game, you will visit the four regions of Midgard, Albenheim, Jötunheim, and Nidavellir. The latest video gives you another glimpse of snowy landscapes, green forests, mountains, and wide plains.
You will explore the world either on mounts like horses, or even on a dragon or pegasus. You can also simply climb and traverse the world on foot.
The 4 classes of Odin
These are the classes of the MMORPG: With Warrior, Rogue, Priest, and Sorceress, there are four classes available at launch. Classic roles such as Tank, DPS, and Healer are expected to play a significant role. Currently, it is not known how exactly the combat system works.
In the gameplay, you can see some excerpts regarding the classes. There are already extensive videos about them that we have previously presented: Odin showcases the 4 classes and what they can do in the trailer. The latest video provides an overview again.
Boss fights
These are some of the bosses you will fight against in Odin: The third gameplay video features several bosses. These appear to be primarily creatures from Norse mythology.
The video shows, for example, a three-headed giant dog. It could be Gam, who guards the entrance to the Norse underworld Hel. At the end of the video, it seems that the god Odin himself can be seen. However, it is not yet clear whether you will fight against him and thus also against the gods personally.
PvP battles
This is what the video shows: In the fourth and final video, we also get a glimpse into the PvP battles of Odin. In the gameplay, you can see how players take off on their mounts and land fluidly on the battlefield.
The fights look fast-paced, but not much more can be said about it. Currently, it is also uncertain whether Odin’s combat system relies on auto-play or not.
Is there already a release for Europe? Kakao Games has announced a total of 4 games that are set to be released in the Western market in 2021. One of them is Odin: Valhalla Rising.
So you can still expect a release this year. However, we do not know more specifics at this point.
On which platforms is Odin being released? Originally, the MMORPG was developed as a AAA game for smartphones, but is now also set to be released for PC.
