Development Blog: New and Improved

Hello vikings!

As you may have noticed, there was no blog post in July, but now we’re back again to give you your long-awaited Valheim news!

Patch-wise, what’s new since the last blog post is that you can now find patch 0.218.21 live! It offers a bunch of tweaks and bug fixes which we hope you’ll enjoy, and we want to offer a big thank you to everyone who tested it in the PTB!

Something you might have noticed over the summer, if you follow us on social media, is that we have gradually revealed more information about the Valheim board game! Together with MOOD we have shown off the player character minis as well as the bosses included – which will be Eikthyr, The Elder, Bonemass and Moder, since the board game will cover the first four Valheim biomes. The Gamefound page has also been updated with a more detailed explanation of the gameplay and a preview of what you’ll find in the game box itself. We really recommend that you follow the Gamefound page, because those who do will get a free ship mini if they back the project!

But now, back to the video game! We’re of course starting to look beyond the Ashlands and towards the future, and we’re working on a little something that will be with you during the fall… We won’t reveal all that it entails yet, but it will include some overhaul and corrections of Hildir’s wares and her camp. We’ve got a small before and after comparison for you right here to preview:

Aside from some overhauls and improvements, there’s also something brand new brewing in the Swamps. What do you think this might be…?

Build of the Month

Since we didn’t have a blog post in July, we’ll share two builds this month! First out is JJTheBuilder89 with this mighty bastion:

The second build we want to highlight is this mansion by Dream_Psalms. Well built both of you!

If you want your creation to be featured in this section, use the hashtag #ValheimBotM on social media. If you post anywhere other than Twitter, please also send us a DM with a link to your post, to make sure that we see it. You can view previous builds in this thread on Steam.

Skål!
