Vikings: Valhalla

Case 014 / Emerald City Games / Netflix

Developed by Emerald City Games, Vikings: Valhalla was a Netflix game, now removed from Netflix in Dec 2024. Authoritative server state. Revival needs a server reimplementation. Technically blocked or shelved. See the case notes.

Recovery notes

Emerald City Games / Netflix soft-launch (v0.7-228721) base-builder tie-in to the Netflix 'Vikings: Valhalla' series, removed 2024-12. Unity IL2CPP on the 2024-gen Netflix SDK (Unity bridge), so the Netflix login gate is tool-clearable - but that is NOT the wall. It is a fully server-authoritative live-service game (Emerald City's 'Raven' backend): the player account is built from the server login response, every action is a server command (156-type ServerInterface), it uses PubNub for real-time, and content streams from a remote CDN. Immediately fails at endpoint discovery - EndpointManager downloads s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/files.raven.emeraldcitygames.ca/endpoints/... -> HTTP 403 Forbidden -> its own 'NETWORK ERROR: Failed to establish a connection to the server' dialog, stuck at 3% loading. No local player state and no local content to fall back on. Unrecoverable without reconstructing the entire backend + streamed content.
