This is not only a list of brand-new releases. Some games here are already out, some are still growing, and some remain useful reference points for anyone interested in Viking-themed game design. The mix is what makes the topic interesting: brutal survival, settlement pressure, raids, tower defense, tactical RPG ideas, and cinematic Norse mythology all sit under the same longhouse roof.
1. Vikings Dynasty
Genre: Life Simulation / Survival / Open World RPG
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: Digital Daredevils / Toplitz Productions
Release: Targeted for late 2026
Vikings Dynasty remains one of the bigger Viking-themed projects to watch, even if it has moved beyond the original 2025 window. The pitch is clear: survive, build, lead a settlement, grow into a Jarl, and shape a Viking community in a harsh northern world.
The appeal is not only combat or raids. It is the idea of starting with almost nothing and slowly turning a dangerous coastline into a living settlement. For fans of the Dynasty formula, this could be one of the more interesting long-term Viking survival projects on PC.

2. Valheim
Genre: Open-World Survival / Crafting
Platforms: PC, Linux, Mac, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2
Developer / Publisher: Iron Gate / Coffee Stain Publishing
Release: Early Access launched February 2, 2021; full 1.0 release dated September 9, 2026
Valheim is still one of the strongest names connected to Viking survival games. It has the building, sailing, boss progression, creature danger, and co-op chaos that many newer Viking survival titles are still compared against.
With the full 1.0 release now dated, it also becomes more relevant again for readers searching Viking games in 2025 and 2026. If someone skipped it during Early Access, this is the obvious time to watch where it goes next.

3. Nordhold
Genre: Tower Defense / Strategy / Roguelite
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: StunForge / HypeTrain Digital, StunForge
Release: March 25, 2025
Nordhold is not a Viking raiding simulator in the traditional sense. It is more about defending a northern village through tower defense systems, roguelite structure, and strategic planning. That makes it a useful change of pace in a list where survival and action often dominate.
The appeal here is defense, upgrades, and smart placement rather than sailing into someone else’s coastline. For strategy players, that is a strong reason to keep it on the list.

4. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Genre: Action RPG
Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox
Developer / Publisher: Ubisoft Montreal / Ubisoft
Release: November 10, 2020
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is not new, but it is still one of the biggest Viking-themed games players search for. It brings raids, settlement growth, Norse mythology, England, Norway, and the usual Assassin’s Creed structure into one huge RPG package.
For this list, it works as the AAA anchor. It is the obvious comparison point for many players when they think about Viking games with large production value.

5. Viking Frontiers
Genre: Survival / Settlement Builder / Strategy
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: BLUM Entertainment / GameHunters, PlayWay S.A.
Release: April 23, 2025
Viking Frontiers puts the focus on leading a new settlement through danger. Gathering, crafting, building, hunting, raiding, and survival all sit inside the same loop, making it a natural fit for players who want Viking life with management pressure.
This is one of the more direct 2025 matches on the list because it landed during the year and fits the Viking survival-builder search perfectly.

6. Song of Iron
Genre: Side-Scrolling Action / Adventure
Platforms: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
Developer / Publisher: Resting Relic
Release: August 31, 2021
Song of Iron keeps things smaller, sharper, and more personal. It is a side-scrolling Norse action adventure built around combat, atmosphere, and a brutal sense of movement through a hostile world.
It is older than some of the other games here, but still useful for readers looking for Viking games outside the usual open-world survival lane.

7. Trolls vs Vikings: Reborn
Genre: Strategy / Tower Defense
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: Megapop
Release: March 7, 2025
Trolls vs Vikings: Reborn brings a lighter but still tactical take on the theme. Instead of open-world survival or cinematic action, this one is about tower defense, timing, and stopping the enemy before the line breaks.
It fits the list because Viking games do not all need to be grim, huge, or realistic. Sometimes the theme works well in a cleaner strategy format too.

8. Multiplayer Vikings
Genre: Massively Multiplayer / Action / Hack & Slash
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: Archor Wright / Archor Games
Release: August 27, 2024
Multiplayer Vikings is the smaller oddball entry here. It is a low-cost Viking-themed multiplayer or single-player hack-and-slash game about defending a village from attack.
This one stays on the list as a curiosity rather than a major recommendation. I could verify the Steam page and Steam trailer, but I did not add a YouTube embed here because I could not confirm a reliable official YouTube trailer upload.

9. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
Genre: Cinematic Action / Adventure
Platforms: PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5
Developer / Publisher: Ninja Theory / Xbox Game Studios
Release: May 21, 2024 on PC and Xbox Series X|S; later released on PlayStation 5
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is not a Viking settlement game, but it belongs near the Norse side of the conversation. It leans into Icelandic landscapes, myth, psychological horror, cinematic presentation, and a far darker tone than most games on this list.
For readers who want Norse atmosphere over base-building or raids, this is one of the most visually striking options.

10. ViCrew
Genre: Turn-Based RPG / Strategy / Adventure
Platform: PC
Developer / Publisher: Matthias Denk
Release: February 27, 2025
ViCrew is a smaller indie pick for players who want Viking raids through turn-based combat instead of survival crafting. You build a crew, travel across island routes, fight enemies, level up, and deal with permadeath in a focused RPG structure.
It rounds out the list nicely because it covers the tactical side of Viking games. Not every Viking fantasy needs a giant open world. Sometimes a tighter, shorter RPG can do the job.

Final Thoughts
The Viking theme keeps working because it can support many different game styles. Survival games use the harsh north and the need to build. Strategy games use raids, defense, and settlement planning. Action games use axes, shields, myth, and cinematic combat. Smaller indie games can take one piece of that fantasy and turn it into something more focused.
That is why this 2025 list is still useful, even after several dates and platforms have changed. Some games are already out, some are still being updated, and some remain strong reference points for anyone looking for Viking games on PC and console.
