The Dwarves

THQ Nordic celebrates the release of “The Dwarves” on PC and console with official music video ‘Children Of The Smith’ with members from heavy metal band BLIND GUARDIAN.

Celebrate! “The Dwarves” have arrived. The coolest fantasy race of all time finally has their own, great adventure. Heroic dwarf Tungdil – scholar, smith and blessed with a gentle heart – has to gather a group of fellow companions and embark on an epic journey to save Girdlegard (the once peaceful realm of men, elves and dwarves) from all evil.

“The Dwarves” offers massive-scale, tactical battles in real-time and a brand new, physics-based “crowd combat system”, to let players feel the thrill of fighting hundreds of enemies with only a small bunch of heroes. Besides the challenging combat, players can dive into a deep story, based on the best-selling series of novels “The Dwarves” by Markus Heitz.

During its successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2015, developer KING Art Games allied up with members from the famous German metal band BLIND GUARDIAN, who performed a tremendous song about »The Dwarves«: ‘Children Of The Smith’.

Turn up the volume, listen and watch the official music video right now:

“The Dwarves” is available NOW for PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One at a retailer near you or as a digital download.

Developer KING Art have announced that a cooperation with the legendary band BLIND GUARDIAN has been arranged: Not only will musicians from BLIND GUARDIAN perform parts of The Dwarves OST in their own unique style but there will also be a special quest involving BLIND GUARDIAN in the game. To perfectly blend that into the fantasy-world of Girdlegard, the developers from KING Art and BLIND GUARDIAN are cooperating closely with the author of The Dwarves book series.

A new video shows the visit by some developers of BLIND GUARDIAN’s studio, where members of the band are playing The Dwarves for the first time.

A crowdfunding campaign for The Dwarves started furiously and is only hours away from passing its 80%-line, having gathered more than 4,000 backers who have pledged over 200,000 $ so far – and there are still 15 days of funding left! A variety of stretch goals has also been revealed. Supporters will be able to vote for either a cooperative Multiplayer, a brand-new character with its own unique skills & story, different new games modes such as New Game Plus or a Horde-Mode and more.
