Viking: Battle for Asgard throws the player in the middle of a fierce struggle taking place within the realm of the Norse Gods. The Goddess Hel has been banished for defying Odin, Lord of Asgard. Angry at her fate, Hel has raised an army of resurrected Viking warriors to wipe out all of humanity in the mortal realm of Midgard, seeking to bring about Ragnarok - the apocalyptic battle that will destroy Asgard and the Gods themselves. The task of stopping Hel and defending the future of mankind falls to Skarin, a promising but deeply flawed young warrior, ignorant of the true reason for his favour with the Gods

Viking: Battle for Asgard is set for release across Europe on March 28th, 2008 for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.
