It has become quiet around the Viking MMORPG Valnir Rok. So calm that hardly any player had the title on their screen. Possibly until now, because the developers are trying to resuscitate - in the middle of the coronavirus crisis. A big update with many changes should help the MMO with a Viking setting to make a comeback.


Big things are happening in Valnir Rok, at least that's what the developers of the sandbox role-playing game are announcing. They rely on a variety of changes to help the onlineRPG to breathe new life. What the Cologne-based Encurio GmbH has created with Valnir Rok is not well received by everyone. But: the comparatively rare theme of Nordic mythology combined with a sandbox concept are the two factors that could make a comeback successful.

Valnir Rok: According to fans, not a total crash

The Viking sandbox didn't crash completely judging by the Steam ratings. There the rating tendency of the users is at least balanced. Fans often attest to the potential of the early access title. The most recent feedback, on the other hand, is less positive: Valnor Rok is orphaned, hardly any players are out in the world. With "dead, dead, dead" one player sums up the essence of the criticism.

Apparently the developers don't want to accept this so easily and are making adjustments in many places. "The developers of Valnir Rok have worked relentlessly and improved the game," according to the current sign of life.

A major update has been implemented and that is exactly what should ensure that the number of players increases again. The improvements also focus on the graphics and performance of the Viking sandbox game. There are also bug fixes.

Encurio then has a look ahead to the future: In the next three months, a major change is expected that will significantly improve the gaming experience. Thanks to the community, the developers were able to identify some of the most important bugs and less sophisticated aspects of the game - they now want to fix them as much as possible within the next three months.

Right now we've shifted our focus from creating content to improving and fixing the base game.
Benjamin Panah, game developer Valnir Rok

It doesn't stop at cryptic promises. The developers list in which areas of Valnir Rok what has improved. Major updates have just been implemented to performance and graphics, and offer many major and minor fixes that will vastly improve the gaming experience. The current patch notes for update 0.6.0 from Valnir Rok reflect this.

The developers at Valnir Rok also know that due to the Corona crisis, many players are looking for new titles to pass the time. The Viking game will therefore be temporarily offered at half price from April 6th. This fits with the advice of the development team: "Take care of yourselves in the Covid-19 times, stay at home and enjoy the wonderful world of Valnir Rok."
