Vikings pillaged TV ratings — now it’s going to plunder mobile gaming

MGM and Hugo Games have teamed up to create a mobile game based on the Vikings television show. With the Viking-themed Clash of Clans has been a top-grossing mobile game for years, it may not be a bad bet.

Since 2013, Michael Hirst’s Vikings has told the epic tales of raiders and explorers of the Dark Ages. Now, fans will be able to enter that world in Hugo’s upcoming release, Vikings: The Game, which will be released worldwide on iOS, Android, and Steam in 2018.
