Valheim Dev Tracker

Greetings vikings!

It’s been another month and it’s time for another look into how the development of Valheim is going!

In case you missed it, we released quite a large patch last week, which contained a lot of bug fixing and improvements. It also added a new hexagonal door, which a lot of you had been asking for ever since first encountering the dvergr in the Mistlands! We were also able to start adding some accessibility features, such as a setting for disabling flashing lights, and the option to toggle the Hugin hints. It’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to accessibility, and we hope to event... Read more

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

Time for another patch, and it’s a chunky one! This patch should fix a lot of various bugs and issues, and we hope there’s something in here for everyone. For example, the ballista now has two modes: one where it will still shoot at anything in its range, but also a new mode where you set a specific target by presenting it with a trophy of your choice.

We have also added two new items for you! One is a buildable version of the hexagonal gate you have seen at the various Dvergr strongholds in the Mistlands, and the other is a very stylish hat for all you master fishers out there. You may be in Valheim to prove your worth to Odin, but sometimes you simply have to prove yourself worthy of a cool hat as well.


Abbreviated Patch Notes:
New Content: * New build piece: Hexagonal gate
* New item: Fishing hat

Fixes & Improvements: * Players can now “use” a trophy on ballistas to limit what it will shoot at
* Balance tweaks to various Mistlands enem... Read more

Happy new year, vikings!

We opted out of writing these regular development blogs for the last part of 2022, figuring there wasn’t much more we could tell you that wasn’t about announcing the Mistlands update itself! But now we have passed that particular milestone, and it’s time to look towards the future.

First though, we want to say a most heartfelt thank you to all of you who played the Mistlands during the Public Test phase, and to all of you who have played the update since it was released properly. Thank you for your feedback, for your thoughts and for your time! With Mistlands being such a large and long-expected update, it was quite scary to finally reveal it to all of you, and it was such a relief to see how much you liked it!

But now to the future, for real.

Our next big biome update is going to be the Ashlands, and we have begun with the pre-production of that biome by creating some concept art and trying to work out the feeling we want th... Read more

Gather your friends and gear up, for it’s time to embark on the voyage to the Mistlands! We have worked hard on this update for the past nine months now, and we’re so happy to finally be able to share it with all of you.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has participated in the Public Test period for this update, as your feedback has been very helpful. Given that Valheim is in Early Access some things are still subject to change, of course, but right now we feel assured that the Mistlands update is stable and ready for all of you.

An important thing to note is that the Mistlands biome will only generate in areas you have not yet discovered. Therefore, if you have explored a lot of your world, you might be better off starting a new one in order to actually be able to travel to the Mistlands. As per usual... Read more
