Hello everyone! Today is the day! New realm, new enemies, new achievements, and original soundtrack announcement among others!

Vanaheim

Vanaheim is the land of the Vanir gods. Here you will find many elemental creatures that will try their best to defend their kingdom. Will you be able to defeat them?

Raid Shrine

Once you have conquered Vanaheim, a new kind of shrine will appear! This Shrine will teleport a horde of enemies from another realm, giving you the opportunity to defeat, lets see the Skavenger King on Jotunheim for example???

Game Modes

Three exciting news: First of all, we know many of you are waiting for the Endless Mode release. We are making many improvements so hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks. We will open a Beta branch for those that wish to test it before anyone else. More details soon. Secondly, we are currently developing a new game mode, the Challenge Mode, where youll find a daily challenge. It will be available on the Beta branch too. That being said, this Challenge Mode will allow us to introduce some new handicaps to the Adventure mode such as being able to play runs deactivating Yggdrasil, not visiting Gnkis realm, etc. in case you want to customize your runs and make them more challenging.

Nordic Ashes Original Soundtrack

We have teamed up with Rubn Meli to create our own soundtrack! The first track available is Nordic Ashes Main Theme. It is the music that plays on the main menu. We really hope you love it as much as we do, and we invite you to listen to the full track! Rubn is already working on the Midgard track. We will release new music in future updates.

Credits

We are adding new credits on the settings panel to thank the wonderful content creators that have supported us, thank you thank you!

New relic

We also wanted to release this new legendary relic, the Beam Pyramid, a true enemy destroyer!

Upcoming Realms

Upcoming realms will be released as follows: Helheim, realm of the dead. Niflheim, realm of ice and mist. Muspelheim, realm of fire. Asgard, kingdom of the sir gods, in that order.

Steam cards and emojis

A few months ago, we released trading cards, emojis and backgrounds for Nordic Ashes, so this is just a friendly reminder that you already have them available to collect!

• You may now change the bloom intensity in the settings panel.
• Pause panel info display has been reworked. You may also use keyboard or controller to see all the different parameters.
• You may now earn 100 more leaves in exchange for seeds.
• The maximum cost of the leave-seed exchange has been set to 500. (Extra seeds you had spent will be refunded)
