The Classes of Tribes of Midgard

Tribes of Midgard launches with eight distinct classes. Interestingly, instead of blocking the class and forcing the player to use in-game currency or a meaningless grind to unlock them, Tribes of Midgard lock each class behind a challenge.

This way the players have fun and gain a sense of accomplishment while exploring the different classes.
