Fans of retro and fast-paced action can mark their calendars for July 12, 2024. On that day, “Volgarr the Viking II” will arrive on Nintendo Switch, delivering a gaming experience that pays homage to classics from the 80s and 90s. Developed by Crazy Viking Studios, this game is the long-awaited sequel to “Volgarr the Viking,” a title already well-known for its unforgiving difficulty and old-school gameplay.
In “Volgarr the Viking II,” players will once again take on the role of the fearsome Viking Volgarr, traversing levels filled with deadly traps, fierce enemies, and imposing bosses. The game promises to improve on the original formula with modernized graphics while retaining the essence of the retro adventure that made the first game a success. Prepare to test your skills and patience in this epic challenge.

Volgarr the Viking II is an intense 2D action-platformer where precision is paramount and one misstep can send you to your death. Players familiar with the original game will find their feet on this relentless journey, despite the addition of new power-ups, new forms of magic, new enemies, and a catchy soundtrack.
While this sequel offers the same merciless difficulty level of the arcade games of the 1980s, Volgarr the Viking II also offers (thankfully, if somewhat reluctantly) modern features such as checkpoints, saves, and Undead mode. It's up to you how much punishment you'll take, but at least everyone can become a Viking!
With new, larger worlds inspired by Norse mythology, multiple endings, and a plethora of unforgiving bosses, Volgarr the Viking II expands and improves on every aspect of the original. Draw your sword, don your helmet, and fight your way through this fast-paced Viking adventure!
