As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for strategy games and a soft spot for anything Scandinavian, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming “Vanir” DLC for Songs of Conquest! The prospect of commanding a raiding Viking nation, harnessing the power of mythical beasts, and waging war across new maps is nothing short of exhilarating.
Coffee Stain Studios together with Lavapotion have unveiled that additional content, titled “Vanir,” will be available for the game Songs of Conquest this coming winter season.
The upcoming DLC is referred to as a significant expansion, and Lavapotion explains: “This expansion will present a fresh faction known as the Vanir, modeled after Viking and Scandinavian mythology. In the realm of Aerbor, the Vanir are the offspring of indebted Baryans and Arleon settlers who have evolved into a marauding nation plundering the desolate Eastern region for wealth.
“The team notes that the Bleak East is a harsh environment where the Vanir were compelled to adapt by learning to transform into powerful, enraged creatures called Vildra.
Here’s the list of new units coming as part of the DLC:
- Huskarl, a sturdy warrior equipped with a spear and shield that can transform into a
- Korphan slashing and clawing with its beaks and talons at the enemy backlines
- Berserker, an iconic juggernaut full of rage that can change into a mighty bear to challenge any who seek to hurt their brethren
- Chieftain, a commander of the Vanir force that can grow to enormous proportions and become the gigantic and mighty Jormr
- Swine, embodying the mythological beast eaten by gods each night only to be resurrected the next day
- Troll, Lykt, Bacahorse and Nornor, the Vildra creatures that join the Vanir in waging war and conquest upon the lands of Aerbor
On top of that, five new conquest maps and two challenge maps are coming with the DLC release, too.
We have a new roadmap for the 2024/2025 content for Songs of Conquest, as seen below. It reveals the game is set to hit consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series S|X) in Winter 2024 as well, with iOS and Android versions aiming for Summer 2025. Also, curiously, there’s a blurred out icon for “new platforms” in Winter 2025, which… well, once can imagine, right?
Magnus Alm, CEO and Founder at Lavapotion, shares that since the game entered Early Access, the most frequently asked for feature by players has been new factions. Originally, they had planned a big expansion for the following year, which would include two new factions and an extensive new campaign. However, they decided to put player feedback first and speed up content release instead. The initial step will be the launch of the Vanir DLC this winter. Since creating new factions requires considerable time, they’ve opted to focus on the new faction first before releasing the ‘Rise Eternal’ story DLC at a later stage. They are excited for players to join them in exploring the Bleak East!
Songs of Conquest is out now for PC.
