It’s been six months or so since Tribes of Midgard welcomed console players to the battlegrounds, as players attempted to survive in a bright and colourful world. But since then, much has changed, with the latest realm now opening – that of the Witch Saga.
Available today for Tribes of Midgard players to involved themselves with, Witch Saga is Norsfell and Gearbox Publishing’s attempt at keeping Tribes of Midgard fresh, as players team up to take on the goddess, Hel.
It arrives as a free update to those with the game in their digital libraries, no matter whether that by on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 or PC. The Realm of the Dead awaits, as does a new Biome, quest, farming opportunities and more. Further to that is the introduction of crossplay between PC and Xbox players.
Key features of the new Tribes of Midgard: Witch Saga include:
- Enter the Realm of the Dead: Hel has summoned the Draugr to lead her army of Helthings as she schemes to corrupt the roots of Yggdrasil. Time is of the essence, and to win, you’ll have to take this fight to her domain.
- In the Witch Saga Quest, find the Undergate portal and enter Niflheim at your own risk, as the coldest biome has plenty of tricks up its frigid sleeve.
- Explore the chilly depths of Niflheim, raid ancient stone mausoleums for loot, gain access to unique crafting materials to forge powerful recipes, and challenge the goddess of the underworld to free her prisoner, the fallen god Baldr.
- Farm for Ingredients: In addition to the new Biome, Ancient, and Saga Quest, Witch Saga introduces a farming system which gives Einherjar the ability to plant seeds and cultivate materials they need for crafting. Using the new Shovel tool, players can plant a special material called ‘Essences’ and grow ingredients like stone and iron after a timer.
- Crossplay: Witch Saga debuts cross-platform play for Tribes of Midgard players on Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox. Einherjar now have the ability to connect together online to face Hel from different devices—no Runes required.
“It’s our top priority to keep Midgard alive and thriving for our players, so we’ve incorporated plenty of community-inspired improvements and added another page to their Viking legends with the Witch Saga,” said Julian Maroda, CEO and Creative Director of Norsfell. “Norse mythology continues to inspire the growth of the game with an expanding world and bigger, tougher bosses. We can’t wait to see how our Einherjar come together to thwart Hel’s twisted plans.”
If you’re up for taking in this new world, fire up Tribes of Midgard today. And if you don’t yet have a copy of the game, head over to the usual digital stores and grab a download – it’s on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC. The Xbox Store is our favourite, letting you play on either Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S.
