World’s Strongest Man Joins March of Empires as Champion

• Hafthor Bjornsson, the former World's Strongest Man, is coming to March of Empires
• Acquire him as a free Champion from June 16th through June 30th
• Beginning as a powerful frontline Champion, Hafthor later evolves into a seasoned Advisor

March of Empires fans have long enjoyed commanding historically inspired Champions in their quest for dominance. Now, prepare to welcome a thoroughly modern yet equally formidable addition to your ranks: Hafthor Bj�rnsson, the World's Strongest Man, joins the game as a playable Champion and Advisor.

Best known for winning the prestigious World's Strongest Man competition in 2018 and his role as The Mountain in HBO's Game of Thrones, Hafthor is truly larger than life—and his physical stature is just as impressive. From June 16th to June 30th, you can unlock him for free as a towering, battle-hardened warrior.

Hafthor arrives with faction-specific missions that challenge you to leverage his immense strength. As you progress, he will evolve into a potent late-game Advisor, lending his hard‑earned wisdom in your most critical moments.

The Mighty (Haf)Thor

Hafthor’s arrival also introduces Thor’s Mighty Challenge, a new battle pass filled with themed rewards including army cosmetics and rally march customizations inspired by the strongman himself. Gameloft has also confirmed that Hafthor will serve as a brand ambassador in the near future, giving March of Empires a powerful promotional boost.

This collaboration is a perfect match for March of Empires. Hafthor’s legacy includes not only incredible feats of strength, but also a commanding presence—precisely the kind of warrior who feels right at home on the battlefield.
