Hopefully some of you have already noticed that we announced the next Expeditions game today. We're working on Expeditions: Viking, and it's going to be pretty cool.

Seems pretty awesome. I'll definitely pre-order this. Any words on when we can expect gameplay footage?

[Jonas]

We have a pretty polished gameplay demo that we're showing off at the Nordic Game conference right now, but we'd like to hold off on showing anything off to the Internet for another couple of months. After all, once it's on the Internet, it stays on the Internet, so it'd better look great the first time!

[Fijure]

Sounds great, better to reveal something really awesome a bit later than something half-assed too soon. Looking forward to this game!

I've high expectations for this title, Conquistador was a sleeping hit of 2013.

If I could wish one thing for the serie, is to get more free from historical background and implement some fantasy bits.
I think there are a lot of great things about Odin's faith and mythology that could makes the game better.


Well anyway, best of luck, ill be sure to pre-order asap. :D

I followed Conquest: Expeditions since it´s presentation on Kickstarter but I just started playing it yesterday. 4 hours in and I can say that I love the artwork and writing as well as the gameplay.
Really looking forward to your second Conquest.

Hopefully this can live up to conquistador if so then maybe 2016's goty

No. The great thing about the first game was that it was solidly based in history. Fantasy games are a dime a dozen.

Conquistador was solidly based in history, but it also featured the Fountain of Youth, the Gates to Mictlan and El Dorado guarded by the Flayed One.

Personally, I too would like the game to stick relatively close to history, but I also wouldn't mind having a few fantastical diversions that you can only find by exploring everything. Only as fun optional things, of course, not as the main attraction. If nothing else, it's a neat way to educate the player on what the Vikings actually believed (I mean, really, how many people knew who Xolotl was before playing Conquistador?).

[Jonas]

In our view, one of the unique characteristics of Expeditions is how we include mythological elements as little diversions that can always be understood as superstition. It's one of the ways in which we try to put you into the mindset of the people and the period that we're portraying - after all, back in the day, a lot of people were very superstitious :)

Looking forward to this very much.

Please keep the large amount of characters to recruit both for the start and during the game. I love games with big rosters.

For replays it would be nice if the traits could be randomized.

i m sad you ve followed the viking hype, but as you guys have proved to be awesome, i ll give it a shot, maybe you ll do expeditions china next

still giddy though, i guess i m sgaddy then

"I love games with big rosters." so do i, big roster please

[Bullett00th]

FANTASTIC!

Pretty much the only reason I never bought the original Expeditions is because I really really don't care about conquistadors. This one I'm keeping an eye on, good stuff!

[drake_hound]

Well sounds good, am really curious.
What the changes are for vikings :)

[Matt]

Looking forward to this one.

[Wilm]

Not crazy about vikings, but I'm still looking extremely forward to this. I absolutely loved Conquistadors, best game of 2013 imo.
