But now, you'll be getting an entirely modern yet no less intimidating addition to your lineup as the World's Strongest Man, Hafthor Bjornsson, joins March of Empires as a playable Champion and Advisor!
Best known for winning the prestigious World's Strongest Man competition in 2018 and for portraying The Mountain in HBO's Game of Thrones, Hafthor is a larger-than-life figure—literally, he’s enormous. From June 16th to the 30th, you’ll be able to unlock Hafthor as a free Champion, appearing as a towering, battle-scarred warrior.

The Mighty (Haf)Thor
Hafthor’s appearance will also include Thor’s Mighty Challenge, a new battle pass packed with rewards like a Hafthor-themed army cosmetics set and rally march customizations, all designed around the strongman.
