Yggdrasil releases beast of a game with Untamed Wilds

Yggdrasil has launched its latest adventure slot Untamed Wilds, inviting players to travel through the stunning Nordic outback to tame a pack of vicious beasts and claim big wins as a reward.

Launching exclusively with Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, Untamed Wilds is a slot like no other with players battling Sweden’s elements across three alternating zones including misty forests, ice-cold rivers and rugged mountains, while on the lookout for valuable, ferocious creatures, each one with their own unique habitat.

Great variation is offered in a single play session – after playing in one zone for a while, the game will automatically alternate to a new zone.

No trip to the Nordics would be complete without a glimpse of the Northern Lights, one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena. Hit three or more scatters and dusk descends revealing a magnificent night sky and a greater chance to see more majestic beasts with the potential for higher wins.

Jonas Strandman, Senior Product Strategist at Yggdrasil, said: “This is a high-quality production that we’ve developed for our valued partner and that we believe will be a big hit.”
