Developed by Lionheart Studios and published by Kakao Games, Odin: Valhalla Rising is an open-world MMORPG based on the worldview and history of Nordic mythology. Iconic locations in Norse legend, like Midgard and Jotunheim, can be explored as players explore the vast open world of Odin: Valhalla Rising, which amazed audiences during its launch in Korea and Taiwan. Odin: Valhalla Rising was the top-grossing game in these regions on iOS and Android, making it the biggest hit of 2021 in Korea, where it stayed at the top of the Google Play Store charts for 17 consecutive weeks.
No matter if playing a healer or a damage dealer, players can ride mounts across land and sky on their way through this fantastical world. Composed of four huge regions at launch - Midgard, Jotunheim, Nidavellir, and Alfheim - these lands will test the strength of those brave enough to take them on. More lands are planned following the launch, meaning even more mountains to scale, treasures to uncover and epic boss raids to conquer. The world of Odin: Valhalla Rising is designed to be as seamless as possible to enjoy, with minimal loading screens to prevent interrupting the adventure, whether playing on mobile or PC.
