War of the Vikings enters early access

Paradox Interactive have launched an early access version of War of the Vikings on Steam. The Viking themed follow-up to War of the Roses is well into development and is being targeted for full release early next year. Naturally as with most early access campaigns, if you pick it up now you'll get the full game upon release.

"After the first well-received War of the Vikings Alpha we began planning for the next phase and explored all options available to us," said Gordon Van Dyke, Executive Producer of the War franchise. "We already knew we wanted to do another public Alpha and Beta, and we'd planned to offer pre-orders. After consideration, it was a no-brainer to go with Steam Early Access and kill two birds with one axe, and give our community ample opportunity to help shape the final product."
