Rumor: Sega may bring Vikings onto the PS3 at Leipzig

It seems like the Rumor Robot is all charged up and zapping stuff out of the sky today. This rumor comes from reports that Sega is working on a new title called Viking: Battle of Asgard and since Norse mythology is all the rage in games today, we expect it to be just as brutal as we imagine the battle of Asgard would be. In fact, the idea this game is even going to pop up at Leipzig is just speculation on other sites, so there's really no evidence to point towards that. However, remember the RPG listing compiled in the previous post? The second game is by Sega and has the word Valkyrie in it. Sega working on two Norse-themed titles at once? Hmm.

Either way you spin it, the game's listed on Gamestop as an early '08 release (with an N64 Roadsters graphic to boot) and we'll probably hear more about it at either Leipzig or Tokyo Game Show. Sega needs to step it up before they lose more credibility -- they're notorious for making games fans simply don't want as of late. Look at it this way: worst case scenario, you have a game featuring vikings and a game featuring valkyries with no relation to each other.
