- Developers Update for Christmas 2025 - 21 December 2025
Hello patient gamers,last time we shared our progress we optimistically gave an end-of-year release window for our game, and that has unfortunately not come to pass. We underestimated the scope of what had yet to be done, and even redoubling our efforts didn’t get us there in time.That does not mean we sat on our hands the whole time: in these months work on environment enrichment, which is nearing completion, has been steady, but the areas in which we’ve made the most progress were 3D models and UI, specifically the journal and inventory, which we’re really close to completing.Before the end of the year we plan to wrap up what’s left of our menus, closing the book on one aspect of the game.Here you can see a little clip of the next environment:And here we have the model of an ancient razor made by our 3D artist Marco Borrelli:We also have a new 2D artist for the project, Jacqueline, wh…
- Project Utgardr New Zone in Development - Part 2 - 1 August 2025
Hey hikers, it has been a while since we shared some news on this game’s progress. In that time we have worked on many aspects of the game, with a special focus on level design for chapter 2, animation and movement smoothing and UI improvements. We are also finalizing new collectibles in the form of artefacts and planning the introduction of new writings scattered along the path to fill Thyra’s journal.In our last development update we showed you our progress on chapter 2 of the game, with some sections that were coming along nicely, and now we’re ready to share more. We’re happy to announce that the structure of chapter 2 is finished and has entered the polishing phase. But that’s not all: after careful consideration we have decided to go ahead with designing the third chapter too, in preparation of a possible full game release instead of chopping it up into chapters. This would mean a…

- A New Perspective. - 9 July 2024
Here we are with a new update, and we’re getting closer and closer to the end of the first chapter. We added fewer areas this time, though they started to become more and more intricate gameplay wise, and changed some animations to get the stiffness out of Thyra while introducing a few new ones. As usual we also improved the scripts and other internal workings of the game, and we hope you will enjoy them. We’re really happy with how Project Utgardr is going and we’re excited to share, when the time is right, news of our next and last major update for the Early Access, that will mark the end of the first chapter.

- Leaps Forward. - 27 May 2024
So the time has come for a new update. We worked intensely last month to deliver this one in time and we hope you'll fully enjoy the new area we added. In this small preview the path our protagonist Thyra found is becoming increasingly steep and treacherous… watch your steps! On the UI side of things we added new options for motion blur while we kept improving the game’s internal workings. The Demo will also receive an update to bring it up to speed with the Early Access. With that being said, we're preparing to face our biggest challenge yet: working on the feedback you all left on some of our platforms to improve the player experience. Meanwhile, feel free to share more of that feedback with us to help us make the best game we can make. Stay tuned for upcoming news. The TronusGames team.

- Project Utgardr Resurgence. - 12 March 2024
We remained silent for almost 12 months… This was because we decided to recreate the game from the ground up. This decision has been made after realizing the shortcomings of the game at the time and with the resulting will to create a new immersive experience that reflects our feelings of what Project Utgardr should be. The development team gathered new members and collaborators, and with them we started this project over to finally make something unique and that would come from our hearts. We focused all our energy on music, art, design and programming, staying out of the picture until now... We waited until now to announce this new version of Project Utgardr in order to have a demo of it ready to show you, as well as a solid plan for the early access version that we will discuss at a later date. It would mean a lot to us to receive your feedback on our work, so that we could be sure t…

- Project Utgardr Early Access has a new gameplay vision now - 27 February 2023
Hello everyone, speaking about the newest version of Utgardr, now i think it flows really well and it has its own continuity. This game version has smoothed lots of corners of the games. Parkour and platforming move well now and you got some new indications to what you can climb or not. All white rocks are involved in this parkour feature and now also the pillars have some white chalk strips over them, so you can feel instantly that kind of rock can be climbed up. Also the platform are easier to find and locate. The ambient was too much of the same color, so now this kind of rocks have moss on them. You would find better them and understand their shape and that they are platforms to jump if you want. Some Norse characteristic now is present. Menhirs with runes on them are placed to give you indications for the possible paths (the runic alphabet is the Elder Futhark, dated 2nd century a.…
