Northgard Battlegrounds Open Beta Available Now!

Vikings!

The Northgard: Battlegrounds Open Beta is now available for everyone until July 15!

Jump into the action and discover a new way to experience the world of Northgard. To help you get started, the dev team has prepared a Gameplay Overview video explaining the core mechanics and everything you need to know before your first battles:

Open Beta Content Reminder:

  • Raven Clan and Stag Clan

  • Over 50 different structures

  • 100+ Fate Cards

  • 3 Patrons granting powerful blessings

  • And more!

How to join the BETA:

  • Download the Open Beta from the Northgard Battlegrounds page.

  • Launch Northgard Battleground Open Beta from your library.

Try out different strategies, and share your thoughts with the team. Your feedback will help us improve and shape the game as we move forward.

Join the discussion on Discord, tell us what you think, and don’t forget to wishlist the game!

KNOWN ISSUES

  • If a player encounters a Raven Clan opponent named “opponent” with only the Banner Hall, they are affected by the bug.

Workaround: The best solution is to leave the match if it is a Freeplay game. If it is a Ranked game, we recommend playing it out and securing 4 victories first, to avoid losing rank by leaving the match too early.

Open Beta available now until July 15.

Enjoy, Vikings!
