Thrones of Britannia Unveils The Viking Slave That Became A King

Thrones of Britannia is just around the corner, which means SEGA is gearing up its marketing engine to 11. Today, we've got a glimpse at Guthfrid, the Viking slave turned Viking king of the Northymbre folk.

There's not a lot we know about ol' Guth from a historical perspective, and the trailer skirts that question by giving us a view of his daily life, instead. We see the Viking king holding court, watching parties, and riding horses and greeting denizens. We also, of course, see a bit of warfare, because this is a Total War title after all. You can watch the trailer below, and if you want to read more about the game, check out our last preview before the game launches on April 19th.
