Kakao Games Launches Odin: Valhalla Rising Globally This Year

Longtime readers of the site may remember that back in 2022, Catherine covered the highly anticipated MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising. If you were captivated by its take on the fascinating world of Norse mythology and eager to dive in, then you're in luck! Kakao Games has officially announced that Odin: Valhalla Rising is set to launch globally this year.

Already amassing over 17 million downloads in Asia alone, Odin: Valhalla Rising will be available on both mobile and PC later this year. Pre-registration kicks off on April 3rd, giving you the chance to secure your character name and reserve your spot on the server. Plus, a stunning new trailer has been released, offering a glimpse into the epic adventures that await you!

Set within the awe-inspiring universe of Norse mythology, Odin: Valhalla Rising invites you to explore the realms of Midgard, Jotunheim, Nidavellir, and Alfheim. Whether you're riding mounts across land and sky, uncovering hidden treasures, or scaling majestic mountains, the game promises an epic adventure that truly embodies the Norse theme.

Boasting four distinct realms and four classes to start with—Warrior, Sorceress, Priest, and Rogue—Odin: Valhalla Rising showcases next-generation quality. Powered by Unreal Engine, the game offers minimal loading screens, seamless cross-play, and visually stunning graphics that bring its setting to life. Be warned, though: this might just be the ultimate phone melter.

Having been a massive hit upon its release in Korea in 2021, it's no surprise that Kakao Games is now bringing it to a global audience. The question remains: can it maintain its appeal nearly half a decade after its initial launch? If the promised features hold true, Odin: Valhalla Rising certainly stands a strong chance.
