Valheim

Development news and new content

Long time no see! We have sent out more BETA-keys, and the feedback we have received have been invaluable. Seeing how much our players enjoy Valheim so far motivates us to work even harder! Many new items have been added to the game, and exciting things are happening on the development front. Two of these exciting things are that we are working with a sound designer and a musician to elevate the experience of the game.

Halloween, or Harvest fest as vikings would call it, is upon us and to celebrate it we are testing your knowledge through riddles on twitter. The first 50 people who pleases Odin by giving correct answers to all three riddles will receive one BETA-key each. Make sure to check out our twitter for the chance to prove your wits! https://twitter.com/Valheimgame

Now for the actual updates for the game:


New features and content



New armor: Padded armor



Protect yourself from enemies in this full padded armor (try to not get distracted by how cool you look).

New armor: Lox cape



Winter is nearing and it’s getting colder. This lox cape gives you cold resistance, and is perfect for cold and harsh weather.

Armor update: Added Linen colours



More colours have been added to the linen cape we revealed last month.

New Hairstyles and beards



With this hair-raising update we have increased the customization options with several beards and hairstyles.

New boss: Yagluth



We have created a whole new boss for you to fight if you feel brave enough. To save you from nightmares we won’t show a picture of him, but here is his guardian stone, consider it a sneak peek.

New enemy: Deathsquito



The only thing scarier than a mosquito is a deathsquito. You will definitely hear it coming, but are you fast enough to see it before it strikes?

New enemy: Fuling shaman



Fulings now have shamans roaming in their villages. They will charge at you with spells, so watch out!

New food: Fishwraps, Barley wine, Lox meat pie & Blood pudding



These new foodstuffs will all keep your stomach full, and although not all of them look very appetizing, they all come with their own pros.

New material: Needle


Looted from deathsquitos and big enough to use for weapon crafting.

New material: Black metal


A brutal material for brutal DIY crafts.

New Weapons: Black metal atgeir, black metal axe, black metal sword and black metal knife



What better way is there to signal that you are fearless than wielding these black metal weapons as you slay your enemies.

New weapon: Porcupine mace



This mace is made using deathsquito needles, talk about weaponizing your worst fears.

Miscellaneous Updates


Valkyrie overhaul



We gave the valkyrie a fresh new look by updating her model and textures. What do you think?

Hugin and Munin overhaul


Of course we couldn’t neglect Odin’s companions, they’ve received updated looks as well.

Sunken crypts overhaul



Not only birds deserve overhauls, so do crypts! We pretty much remade our sunken crypts from scratch, doesn’t it look creepy?

Darker skin


Darker shades for skin colour have now been added to the character creation.

Dream text


Your character will now dream when sleeping. But do you think a viking dreams about?
