|
| After three weeks in the Public Test Branch, we believe we have ironed out most of the wrinkles with the update already, but please keep in mind that hotfixes and such are still likely to happen within the near future! [b]Feedback and bugs are best sent in via [url=https://valheim.com/support/]the support page[/url] on our website.[/b]
| | Today marks the five year anniversary since Valheim was first released into Early Access – and what an incredible five years it’s been! |
|
| |
|
| [b]Before you dive into the game, please do take a look at our [url=https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands]preparation guide[/url]. This guide touches important matters such as world generation and mods.[/b]
| | We want to thank everyone who has been a part of our journey and our community since then, whether you started playing on day one or have just been carried by the valkyrie for the first time. We greatly appreciate every single one of you, and we’re so glad to have you walk this path with us. |
|
| |
|
| You will find the abbreviated patch notes further down, and the detailed patch notes (full of spoilers) below those. Please respect those who don't want to see spoilers before they play.
| | For this anniversary you will find a patch live right now for everyone, with some new celebratory items and emotes, along with some quality of life fixes! |
|
| |
|
| If you have missed out on our [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSVbXgBJIuI&ab_channel=IronGate]gameplay trailer[/url], it's available on our YouTube channel, but right now we want to get your blood pumping with this animated release trailer! | | If you want to keep the celebration going throughout the week, you can tune in to [url=https://www.twitch.tv/ard]Twitch[/url] on Friday, where there will be a livestreamed concert by the Munich Radio Orchestra! They will be playing music from a bunch of video games, including Valheim. |
| | |
| | As you all know, we’re working on Deep North, which will be the final biome update that brings the game into 1.0. While we can’t give an update on that today, we can share that 2026 is going to be a great year for Valheim. |
| | |
| | Once again, thank you so much for being with us for five whole years! |
| | |
| | Skål!! |
