When Vikings Attack! Release Dates

It’s been a very hectic couple of months at Castle CleverBeans, we’ve been very busy getting When Vikings Attack! ready for release.

If you follow our twitter feed @clever_beans or happen to have picked up the story in the gaming press, you’ll know that we recently announced release dates and price points. We thought it was about time for a post here collecting all of that information together.

Release dates are as follows:

• US & Americas – 6th November
• Europe & Australia – 7th November
• Japan & Asia – tba

And pricing will be as follows

• US & Americas – $9.99
• Europe – €9.99
• UK – £7.99
• Japan & Asia – tba

However, European (and UK) players can pre-order the game and save a further €3! The UK price, with pre-order, is a bargain at £5.49.

To pre-order, you need to head over to the (new) PSN store on your PS3. If we aren’t currently featured on the front page, you just need to do a search for VIKINGS, then hit the pre-order button. Unfortunately, you can’t pre-order from your VITA directly, but if you buy the game on PS3 you will also get the Vita version included in the price (it’s called “Cross-Buy”).

Here’s a list of the features of the game that we are most often asked about:

• Cross-Play; play on your Vita against friends on PS3 anywhere in the world, and vice-versa!
• Cross-Buy; buy the PS3 or Vita version and get the other version free!
• Cross-Save; PS3 and Vita versions share the same save-game which is stored automatically online
• Two game types, co-operative “Quest” and competitive “Vs”, both of which support up to 4 players
• 15 “Quest” levels
• 20 “Vs” arenas where you can battle against your friends or others from the PSN community
• 3 “Vs” modes – last man standing, Vikings vs Vigilantes, and Gold Rush
• Full voice-chat between PS3 and Vita players

See you all online in early November!
