MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising shows off gameplay trailer, Kakao Games named Publisher

Yesterday, new Viking-centric MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising, in development at Lionheart Studio, released a new gameplay video. Today, news came that Kakao Games has signed a contract with Lionheart Studio to act as Publisher.

First reported by MMOCulture.com, the partnership comes just after Kakao Games announced that they’ve made a “strategic equity investment” into Lionheart Studios. Although publishing in different global regions was not confirmed in the official press release, it was confirmed that Odin: Valhalla Rising will first launch in South Korea.

Odin: Valhalla Rising is currently in development for both PC and Mobile platforms using the Unreal Engine 4. The new trailer showcases gameplay elements ranging from story and cinematics to actual gameplay, which other recent Viking-based game trailers have been lacking in.
