About the Game

King’s Bounty: Warriors of the North is a standalone entry in the King’s Bounty series and a narrative follow-up set in the same world as King’s Bounty: The Legend. A generation has passed since the events of the original adventure, but peace in Endoria has proven fragile.

From the frozen northern lands, a new threat rises. An undead army spreads across the region, pushing ever closer to the heart of the kingdom. You play as Olaf, a Viking warrior and the youngest son of Tormund the Fierce, tasked with defending his homeland and stopping the advance of the dead.

What begins as a local conflict soon turns into a full-scale campaign across the northern reaches of Endoria. You must liberate the land of Nordig, travel between icy islands, ancient strongholds, and war-torn territories, and carefully prepare your army for increasingly dangerous encounters.

Exploration takes place in real time across a large hand-crafted world, while battles unfold in deep, turn-based tactical combat. Positioning, morale, unit synergy, and preparation are critical, as enemies grow stronger and mistakes become harder to recover from.

Warriors of the North expands the tactical core of the series with Rune Magic, a new system that allows units to expend runes for powerful temporary bonuses in battle. These effects can turn the tide of combat when used at the right moment, adding a new layer of strategic decision-making.

Olaf is not alone in his campaign. He is aided by five Valkyries, powerful companions who grant unique bonuses and abilities. Choosing how to rely on their strengths becomes an important part of long-term strategy, both on the battlefield and throughout progression.

The northern setting introduces new Viking-inspired units such as Berserkers and Skalds, enhanced Rage mechanics, and a campaign built around constant escalation. With its darker tone, expanded systems, and distinct identity, King’s Bounty: Warriors of the North delivers a deeper and more demanding tactical experience that builds on the legacy of The Legend while offering a fresh strategic focus.
