“Working with the team at CA was an exciting opportunity for Hardlight. A high quality benchmark had already been set on the Xbox and PS3 versions and the project offered a variety of new challenges for the team working with CA to deliver high-end content on the PC,” said Lee Winder, Project Lead on the brand new PC version of Viking: Battle for Asgard.
Viking: Battle for Asgard
is known for its enormous, free-roaming environments and apocalyptic
battles between thousands of stalwart Viking troops and murderous
demons. The PC version will re-invigorate
the game for 2012 with outstanding visuals that take full advantage of
modern gaming hardware. Players can scale the resolution, anti-aliasing
and other graphical effects according to the power of their PCs for a
truly stunning graphical experience. Viking:
Battle For Asgard also supports gamepad play, and includes fully-remapped keyboard-and-mouse controls for PC gamers.
The PC version also
brings all-new graphical features such as screen space ambient
occlusion. With improved lighting and shadowing, Ragnarok has never
looked so good!
Players
control Skarin, a young Viking hero, as he masters an evolving
repertoire of gory combat skills and mythical powers. As he explores the
vast, breath-taking world of Asgard, Skarin
learns devastating new attacks, gains new allies and tames
mighty dragons to conquer the demonic hordes raised by the scorned
death-goddess, Hel. Her aim is to incite Ragnarok, the world-ending
battle that will consume Asgard and the very gods themselves.
Only Skarin can rally the Viking clans against her.
