One of just three titles Total War developer Creative Assembly developed for consoles, Viking: Battle for Asgard is on its way to PC.
Released in 2008 to mixed reception, the game is a hack and slash adventure with roots in Norse mythology. The style is certainly not the norm for Creative Assembly, and seems to represent for them what Space Marine did for Relic -- that worked out well, so maybe this won't be too bad, either.
Word is the game will receive a graphics update, as you might expect.
Viking launches next week on Steam, GamersGate, and probably other digital shops.
