Clan of the Kraken slithers its way into Northgard with new DLC

The Clan of the Kraken knows how fickle and dangerous the sea can be, worshipping the gigantic behemoth from the deep, fearing brutal might, but also honoring its instinctual knowledge and the great powers the mythical sea creature can bestow on the Vikings brave enough to follow it.

Players choosing the Clan of the Kraken will suffer a penalty in colonisation and constructing buildings away from coastal zones. Likewise, all the clan’s unit attack values suffer a reduction away from the sea. No Longship Docks can be built, and a Trade Victory is not open to the Clan of the Kraken. The new Fishery replaces the Fisherman Hut, and can be used by the Vikings on both lakes and the sea. The Brewery is replaced by the Horgr building, allowing players to train female clan members into Norns. The Norn produces Happiness and Wyrd. Wyrd can be used to activate special abilities.

The release of the new Clan of the Kraken by developer Shiro Games comes on the heels of the studio’s presence at gamescom 2019. The French indie will showcase the upcoming massive expansion Northgard: Conquest - coming in October 2019 - as well as Northgard on console and Northgard: Uncharted Lands, the new board game set in the Northgard universe.

Northgard is not yet available on Switch, but is still slated to hit sometime in 2019. When it does come over, the Clan of the Kraken DLC should make its way to the platform as well.
