Sharpen and don your great horned helmets, warriors, for today, acclaimed studio Digital Eclipse is proud to launch Volgarr the Viking II, the highly anticipated sequel to the indie hit from Crazy Viking Studios. Available now on PC and consoles, Volgarr the Viking II fuses brutal hack-and-slash action with hardcore 2D action platformer elements for a potentially punishing game that’s as rewarding as it is challenging.

Developed in partnership with Crazy Viking Studios, Volgarr the Viking II is a sequel 10 years in the making. The barbarian king Volgarr returns, a little older but no less ruthless. Featuring new and expansive worlds inspired by Norse mythology, players must slash, dash, and mash their way through waves of bloodthirsty enemies…lest they embark on a one-way trip to Valhalla.

Sporting the same unforgiving 1980s arcade style of challenge as the original, Volgarr the Viking II demands precision, as one false move leads to a brutal death. Players of the original game will feel right at home on this relentless voyage, while more modern gameplay features ease newer players into the savagery with a practice mode, optional checkpoints, save profiles, and unlimited continues. However, a secret world and boss await those who can master the game without these modern comforts.

“We’re thrilled to finally unleash Volgarr’s particular brand of gameplay once again,” said Mike Mika, Head of Digital Eclipse. “The original gained a cult following among players that appreciate a steep challenge and the speedrunning community, and it was a joy to bring Volgarr II to life.”

“The new game contains a decade full of new ideas I have had since the original came out. Some of them are new ways to challenge players; others are designed to make the game more accessible to new players,” said Kristofor Durrschmidt, CEO and Creative Director of Crazy Viking Studios. “A lot of the things that I did in the second game were addressing the primary complaints, wishes, hopes, and dreams of what we collected from fans and reviewers about what could have been done to make Volgarr better.”
