Toplitz Productions showed a live demo of Vikings Dynasty at gamescom 2026. The life simulation game has players build a village in 10th-century Scandinavia, hunt, fish, and raid by boat. The open playtest begins September 16, 2026, running on Unreal Engine 5 with Japanese interface and subtitle support planned.
Toplitz Productions brought Vikings Dynasty to the business area of gamescom 2026, where the live demo showed a village-builder built around sea travel. Players take the role of a Jarl, constructing houses, securing food, and attracting residents across a map of islands and fjords in Northern Europe.
The demo limited sailing to a one-person boat without sails, but confirmed mechanics like recovering materials from floating barrels. Combat uses an axe and shield with kick and roll dodge actions. A raid system with large longships and more companions is planned for a future update.
The open playtest starts September 16, 2026, before early access. The Steam page lists Japanese support for interface and subtitles.
