Norse Oath of Blood Postpones Its Arrival on PC and Consoles

The independent studio FrostForge has modified its release plan for the highly anticipated title Norse Oath of Blood. The video game, which combines role-playing and action, will not be available in January as initially announced. Its debut on personal computers has now been set for February 17. Players awaiting the version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will have to wait until next spring, although no exact date has been confirmed. 🗓️

The Studio Seeks to Polish the Final Experience

FrostForge justifies this schedule change by arguing that the extra time will allow them to improve several technical aspects and balance the project's content. The team wants to ensure stable performance across all platforms and that the gameplay offers a consistent experience from the very first moment. This additional period will also be dedicated to fixing minor bugs identified during the final stages of game production.

Key Objectives of the Delay:
  • Optimize performance and stability on PC and consoles.
  • Adjust and balance gameplay systems and available content.
  • Fix technical bugs detected in the final development phase.
Sometimes, a blood oath requires a little more patience, especially when day-one patches are more feared than a dragon.

A Viking Warrior in an Open World

In Norse Oath of Blood, players take control of a Nordic warrior who has sworn to avenge his clan, victim of a betrayal and massacre. The adventure unfolds in an open world inspired by Scandinavian mythology, where players can freely explore, accept quests, and face human enemies and legendary creatures. The combat system fuses melee weapons with elements of runic magic.

Main Game Features:
  • Revenge narrative in a Nordic open-world setting.
  • Combat blending melee weapons and rune-based magical abilities.
  • Exploration of landscapes inspired by Scandinavian mythology.

A More Polished Launch

FrostForge's decision reflects a trend where developers prioritize releasing a more complete product over meeting an announced date. Players, although they must wait a few more weeks, can perceive that the final result will be more stable and satisfactory. The team seeks to have the hammer of the gods of development well sharpened before it reaches the hands of the community. ⚔️
