Gameloft brings the Legends of the North to March of Empires in a major limited-time Vikings event!
The Vikings Take Over March of Empires for a whole month!
Paris, France – May 29th, 2026 – Gameloft, a leader in the creation and publishing of games, today announces a major limited-time in-game event in partnership with a hit TV show for March of Empires. This Vikings-inspired experience launched a few days ago and will run until June 21st. This large-scale seasonal event introduces new Legendary Champions and an all-new gameplay system directly inspired by the hit Prime Video series.
Inspired by Norse mythology and Viking-era warfare, the activation marks one of the most significant content updates of the year for March of Empires, combining new strategic depth with iconic historical TV series characters.
Players will be able to recruit two new Legendary Warrior Champions drawn directly from the popular TV show: Ragnar, the charismatic warrior and visionary leader, a fearsome conqueror engineered for relentless offensive dominance, capable of overwhelming enemies through raw power, pressure, and unstoppable momentum; and Lagertha, a legendary shieldmaiden renowned for her tactical precision, discipline, and exceptional resilience on the battlefield. Each Champion has been carefully designed with a distinct combat identity, featuring unique strengths that can shift the outcome of engagements in different strategic contexts. Equipped with signature weapons and exclusive gear, they bring powerful, event-exclusive bonuses that significantly enhance battlefield performance and make them standout additions for any player aiming to strengthen their empire.
In addition to these new champions, the activation introduces a major new gameplay system: Commanders. This new feature expands strategic customization by allowing players to unlock powerful army-wide bonuses through specialized characters. The first Commanders introduced in this system are Rollo, focused on strength and conquest-oriented strategies, and Floki, the strange and eccentric Viking who enhances speed, adaptability, and tactical flexibility across multiple troop types.
Running over four weeks, the event will feature progressive unlocks, themed quests, exclusive rewards, and weekly content updates. Players will be able to recruit Champions, unlock Commanders, and earn upgrade materials through ongoing participation in the event.
