In the hack-and-slash, which is being developed by Creative Assembly of Spartan: Total Warrior fame, you'll play as Skarin, a viking defending his people from an encroaching army of undead Vikings and an evil goddess. Expect to hear more about the game during the Leipzig Games Convention this week. Expect to hear about more about a new Lost Vikings exclusively in our dreams.

The lesson everyone needs to learn is this: Vikings? Are awesome!

I should take this to history class so we can learn the interactive way!

This has nothing to do with Golden AXE..right?,bummer.
BTW BLizzard needs to pull Diablo III as a RPG becaus eI had it with MMO and a Lost vikings 3D platformer for the Wii/360/Ps3 or PC.

They probably should have gotten Human Head and Volition to do this :/
Rune? Anyone, anyone, Bueller?
They've already said they wanted to do a sequel, and the two studios did an admirable job on the PC and Console versions of Prey.

"you'll play as Skarin, a viking defending his people"
Awesome!
"from an encroaching army of undead Vikings and an evil goddess."
Um... no thanks. Sega, we broke up a while ago. Stop leaving messages on my answering machine.

No, no. You're not SAYING it right:
"...from an ENCROACHING ARMY of UNDEAD VIKINGS and an EVIL GODDESS!!!"
See? It's actually bad ass, you were just confused.

And then after his town is in ruins, he leads his people across the ocean to Greenland, where they are attacked by TIME-TRAVELING NATIVE AMERICANS with CRAZY MAGICAL POWERS an the most REALISTIC AUTOMATIC WEAPONS and HEAD BOUNCE you have ever seen!

I personally LOVED the lost vikings, and I whole heartedly agree that it should be brought back.
XBLA blizzard, XBLA!!!!!!!!
Actually that may be in the top 5 best ideas I have ever had, why have they not done that...?

Vikings are so awesome they don't even have to were eye patches for night vision.

Ahh Vikings. Pirates can only beg to be slaughtered by them.
GamerCrusader @ Aug 21st 2007 1:28PM
HA! Mythbuster references are the best. But I digress... VIKINGS. Thank you.

I can't wait to see how Sega fucks this one up. After this, they'll surely move on to destroying lolcats.
