And there'… | — | |
| Sale | Hel-O-Ween Sale! Get 20% off Bossgard! By Hel, it's that time of year again!

Mor'Teen. But I digress, you're here for the discount, aren't you? Perhaps you've been following us for a bit now… | — | |

For those of you who are just finding out about Bossgard, here's wh… | — | |
| Esports | Bossgard coming to PS4 tomorrow! The Vikings will need all the help they can get in the battle against Olaf of Bread and his fellow Bossses. The beacon has been lit and the Vikings now hopefully await reinforcements from the PS4, which are bound to arrive tomorrow! Without further ado, Bossgard is hitting the PS4 shelves tomorrow. Here are the technical tidbits: · 1-4 players · Network Players 2-4 - Full game requires PlayStat… | — | |
| Esports | Bossgard is coming to Switch on July 15! Let’s play "What fits on a Nintendo Switch?" Let’s see...uhm… A TEAM OF 5 ANGRY VIKINGS AND ONE OVERSIZED SLICE OF TOAST WHO FEEDS ON SUFFERING AND DESTRUCTION, WHO WON’T BACK DOWN UNTIL HUMANITY, THE GODS AND MIDGARD ITSELF ARE NOTHING BUT A FUMING PILE OF RUBBLE UNDERNEATH ITS FOUL OVERDONE CRUST!

| Community | Vikings invade Japan on Nintendo, PS4 and PC! Sound the alarm, a bread-shaped kaiju has been spotted on the coast of Japan! Recent reports indicate that the bread monster has appeared out of nowhere and has released a swarm of little bread people on the innocent civilians living in that area! It’s time to call in… ...the Vikings. So great news! Bossgard is now available on the Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Japan thanks to our collaboration wi… | — | |
| Community | Bossgard's price just lost 20% of its HP! Ugh, summer. Vikings were not built for summer. Well... maybe Ziggy and Duke were. For the rest of them non-Jamaican, non-surfer Vikings, summer just goes against everything that is supposed to turn the inhabitants of the North in tough, gritty warmachines. Olaf of Bread is no big fan of summer either - he gets too crusty. But there are plenty of good things that come with the sunny season, one… | — | |
| Esports | Friday: Play with the devs In the words of Magnus... IT. IS. FRIDAAAAAAAAAY! We're hosting a live stream today to celebrate the past few weeks and blow off some steam. Our Vikings are beaten and tired from all the senseless wars against toilet utensils and living fortresses, it's time we rewarded them with a day of casual skirmishes. And it's also time we reward you people with some in-game items. We're dying to try out… | — | |
| In-game event | Patch: Fixing the Hog Hi there! We received reports of faulty mechanized assault pigs and we had to do something about it. Upon closer inspection it became clear that the Warhog's Ragnarok-Class Reinforced Armor came under too much pressure from sustained fire and corrosive Poison arrows. The Vikings seem to have developed a knack for landing Mighty Blows in the Warhog's armor weak points, especially where several m… | — | |
| In-game event | Update: Fixes, improvements, and news! Hail you Vikings! Hail you Bosses! It’s been a great couple of weeks since Bossgard left Early Access!

Here’s what’s up: · Added new camera angles for the 2v1, 3v1, 4v1 Boss Vs Vikings game lob… | — | |

| Major update | Huge Content Update! Bossgard is preparing to leave Early Access! Just a little while longer We’re super happy to announce that Bossgard is getting close to the end of the Early Access program.

Our bi… | — | |
| Sale | Play and be safe! Get 30% off Bossgard! Play and be safe! Depending on where you're from, chances are you've slain a few solid weeks of lockdown yourself. Us Sand Sailors have been working from home ourselves and the impact made by the sudden spike in the usual level of solitude has been surprisingly strong. We miss going out and we've tried getting as much digital social contact as it is virtually possible. Bossgard has given us ple… | — | |
| Community | Bossgard Weekly Tournaments are here! Fight, heal, hunt and become the best Hi everybody, hope you are staying safe (and inside!) during these challenging times.

The Bossgard Tournament is about to begin. It is time to settle once and for all (or once… | — | |
| Community | Giveaway! Win Bossgard keys and date Maksim! Giveaway! Valentine's volley of arrows has been bombarding us for some time now. Unfortunately, we lost our best man - Maksim. Maksim is now lovestruck and there's not much we can do for him. He's a big loving guy, but he's also sensitive. We're afraid that if we don't find someone for Maksim (and fast) his goofy old heart will fail him. The oaf has been after Innes for a while, but that'll nev… | — | |
| In-game event | Update: Nametags! And a stream! Nametags Here we go, another update, nothing flashy this time, but highly useful nonethelss - name tags! In Local games nametags match the names of the characters being play, in Online games they match the player's name. Hit animations Characters now flinch when they receive damage, providing an extra layer of feedback for both the attacker and the receiver. Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where Bhaar… | — | |
| In-game event | Update: Rage Away! Bossgard came a long way and as the game gets more and more complex, we often find ourselves looking back at some early design decisions we've made, sometimes realizing that some parts of the game could be streamlined. So we decided to drop the progression requirement for our Rage abilities, they will now be available off the bat. If you're wondering why we've locked them behind the God gates i… | — | |
| Esports | Friday: Play with the devs You know the drill. We start bashing each other in Bossgard and you're invited to join, all streamed for your convenience. Tonight's stream will be a bit special because we'll be showing off our latest achievements. Like, uhm our... Tune in right here at 20:00 EET! | — | |
| Esports | Friday: Play with the Devs! We're celebrating the end of our first studio week of 2020 with a game of Bossgard (as we usually do on Fridays). We're going live right now and we invite all Bossgarders to join our game! Beware, we might even be raiding your own games should we find you online. So what are you waiting for? Fire up Bossgard and let loose the dogs of war! Or the plungers of war. Whichever suits you better. Boss… | — | |
| Game update | Ew! Bugs! Hail you Vikings, hail you Bosses! Here we are, sharpening our blades and cleaning our wounds after a mighty battle with 2019. As yesteryear’s songs quiet down, we look full of anticipation towards the 20th year of the 2nd millennium and since it’s customary for humans to utter the phrase “new year, new me” during this time of year, we shall begin with a bit of renewing of our own… ...by smashi… | — | |
| Esports | Friday: Play with the devs! Right, so it's time we lay down our keyboards, drawing tablets and whiteboard markers, and get down to what really matters... ...BASHING A GIANT SLICE OF TOAST WITH SWORDS, DUHH but since our game is better with friends, we'd love to have you over on our server. So if you've got time to kill and feel like firing arrows at a giant plunger, jump in! We'll be playing both PvP and Co-op and pvpcoop… | — | |
| In-game event | The one you've been asking for - unlocked characters! Before we go into details about our update we invite you… ...to check out our new trailer for the Survival Mode! We thought we’d begin the week with an update we wanted to do for a while, an update that addresses a popular demand - that we unlock the playable characters and reduce the grind. Without further ado, Magnus, Innes, Miko, Asha, Olaf of Bread, Jackhammer, Plunge D. and Bhaar-Boot will… | — | |
| Community | Update: Survival 1.0 The Steam Awards are right around the corner and we'd super appreciate it if you'd consider nominating us! Personally, we'd go for the "Better with Friends" award but who are we to judge? That's a job for you people! Back to Bossgard Tree planting, scorekeeping, extensive balancing and a bit of storytelling, these are the main things covered in our latest update. Just like our last few updates,… | — | |
| Esports | Friday Play with the Devs We'll do a quick recap on what's new, a couple of versus matches and a survival challenge. The highlights are the new vik vs vik AI , the new deployable items for the Bossgard survival mode. See you there! | — | |
| In-game event | Update: Start Building! Hey everybody, we’ve just expanded Bossgard with a nifty update: a Build Mode! Are the breadmen too much to handle? Are the Drones swarming you to Hel? Is the Wanderer proving to be too much of a challenge? No worries! Build a Ballista! No. Better! A Cannon! Or several. You know what goes nicely with Cannons? Walls. Go on, build some Walls as well. Bossgard’s an unfair place, might as well tip… | — |
