The development team at Fatshark and publisher Paradox Interactive announce that they are launching a big update for the Steam Early Access version of War of the Vikings, designed to introduce three new profile loadouts that expand on the options offered by the ones already available.

The update is called The Huntsman, but the new class that gamers can try out is The Champion, which comes equipped with a powerful Dane Axe.

The team adds, “Several optimizations and adjustments have also been made as part of the ongoing development of War of the Vikings, which players are now experiencing firsthand through participation in Early Access, with their feedback directly affecting the course of the game.”

The range of beards included in War of the Vikings has also been increased and gamers can still take part in a competition which allows them to showcase their own facial hair, for a chance to see it modeled in the final version of the game.

The combat-focused title does not yet have a launch date.
