Norsfell Announces Aftergods, A Top-Down Survival-Lite ARPG Set After Ragnarok
Norsfell is moving past the single-pantheon Norse premise of Tribes of Midgard, the game that carried the Montreal studio to over 5 million copies sold, into a multi-mythology world it is calling its most ambitious project.

Norsfell announced Aftergods at the Triple-i Initiative Showcase. The top-down survival-lite ARPG is set in a handcrafted mythological open world where Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythologies coexist, and players take the role of a Godborn who survived Ragnarok. They gather followers, build temples, forge equipment, and fight giant monsters, solo or in co-op. It is announced for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with wishlists open.
The announcement trailer's animation is original footage from Powerhouse Animation Studios, which worked on the Netflix series Blood of Zeus and Castlevania. The music was recorded by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra with more than 60 performers.
Norsfell is based in Montreal. Its previous game, Tribes of Midgard, is a survival, roguelite, and ARPG blend for 1 to 10 players; it passed 500,000 copies in its first week after its 2021 release, and lifetime sales now exceed 5 million. The official site is taking newsletter registrations, and registrants get news plus chances at limited playtests.
