Season 2 of Tribes of Midgard is just around the corner. Titled "Serpent Saga," it arrives as a free update on December 14. It’s going to add interesting content like a new Season Track and new Saga Boss. There’s even a new Open Seas biome plus many weapons and armors.

In a statement, Norsfell CEO and Creative Director Julian Maroda revealed that their plan for the game is to make it the ultimate Viking sandbox. He added that Season 2 continues that journey and makes changes to the world.

Key features of the Serpent Saga are:

A New Saga Boss
- There’s a new mysterious but powerful beast of myth that players need to defeat before Fimbulwinter.
Go to the season to find and unlock its Lair. Beat the beast to stop Ragnarök.
Shipyard
- Located just right outside the village on an Ash Beach biome, the Shipyard needs to be rebuilt just like the Quarry, Farm, and Lumberyard.
- Once rebuilt, resources can be used to craft Boat kits to take the seas.
- There are different tiers of boats and players can choose the right boat to fit their playstyle.
- Smaller boats may be flimsier but they are nimbler and need fewer materials.
- Larger boats can be unlocked by leveling up the Shipyard. They can hold more players, travel faster, and have more HP. However, they cost more resources.
Boats
- Vikings can now sail the seven seas by building and constructing Boats crafted in the Shipyard.
- Boats can be placed and built through the Construction Inventory and only in the Open Seas like off a coastline, shore, or cliff.
- It’s not possible to do them in rivers or ponds.
Swimming
- Vikings can now swim.
- This is limited by the Stamina gauge of the Viking.
Exploration
- Explore the Open Seas and access uncharted islands off the shores of Midgard to find Merchants and new Beacon Camps filled with turrets and brand new enemies.
- The expanded map lets players discover new lands full of resources, enemies, and loot.
