Vikingard is an online role-playing mobile game for Android and iOS devices that focuses on kingdom building in the Viking Age. The game was originally launched in 2022 by the Chinese mobile developer NetEase Games.
The licensed Vikings Crossover Part II is based on Bjorn’s storyline in seasons three and four of MGM’s Vikings TV series. The crossover event will begin with a pre-launch event featuring exclusive log-in rewards and story content. Once the event officially begins, players can follow Bjorn’s story across eight new in-game missions and minigames.
Players who purchase crossover packs and complete challenges will unlock new Hersirs, character skins, and a Story Album. In addition some of the heroes from the first crossover event will return to the Vikingard game with new skins available for purchase.
The crossover event will also unlock an exclusive Game Icon, Avatar Border, and Crossover Avatar.
MGM’s Vikings franchise is a historical drama inspired by medieval Scandinavian folk tales. The franchise currently includes the original Vikings series, a sequel series called Vikings: Valhalla, and a prequel comic.
The Vikings crossover event in Vikingard is intended to celebrate the Vikings series’ tenth anniversary, in addition to the Vikingard games’ first anniversary.
