Occurring after Ragnarök ends the world, Blood Rage: Valhalla is a standalone sequel that will feature gameplay similar to the original 2015 Blood Rage, with the gameplay differences mirroring the game's new setting of Valhalla.

The listed playing time for Blood Rage: Valhalla is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blood Rage: Valhalla for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
