What if Vikings had dinosaurs during the invasion of England? A legitimate question to ask regarldess of circumstance and one whose answer we’ll learn when Dinolords’ release date comes around. Below, we break down everything known so far about the Dinolords release window, supported platforms, gameplay details, trailers, and the latest updates from the developers.
Published by Ghost Ship Games and developed by Northplay, Dinolords is a real-time strategy game with action-RPG elements that puts dinosaurs at the forefront of medieval warfare.
## Dinolords Release Date
Dinolords is currently aiming for a 2026 early access release window after originally planning to go live one year prior. According to the developer its stay “might last a year or more,” depending on the community’s support and how long it takes to bring the game to a level of quality and amount of content that makes everyone happy.

Dinolords Gameplay
In Dinolords, we unsurprisingly take on the role of a lord in charge of England’s defense, being tasked with building a thriving medieval settlement – from its first humble houses to imposing fortifications – and fending off the invading Danes.
While this alone sounds fairly standard for a title based on medieval history, Dinolords’ Danes have not only learned to harness the power of dinosaurs but also thought that strapping armor onto the beasts is a sound idea.
To prepare ourselves against this threat, we’ll need to gather resources, hunt, and tame our surroundings. As more villagers join our cause, constructing specialist buildings is a key way to keep them happy and willing to try their hand at punching armored dinos.
We’ll control our lord in real-time while commanding our troops to man the ramparts and deal with foes on the ground, in what the developer calls “a brew that’s both nostalgic and entirely new.”
Dinolords Story
Although rooted in our world’s history, Dinolords has a different take on events that occurred in our past. Aside from knowledge and glory, Eric The Red’s voyage to Greenland also gifted him a batch of dinosaur eggs.
After using dinos to build Greenland’s settlements, he brought them back to Scandinavia, where they were domesticated, then bred for war.
Danish king Sweyn Forkbeard spared little thought before using them in his invasion of England, which would become the first dinosaur-powered conflict in history.
With the odds stacked against Æthelred the Unready, he sends his son, Edmund Ironside, to help defend the kingdom and find a way to deal with this newfound threat.
