| Community | Word From the Devs: Summoning Our Champions! Hello vikings! We would like to start off on a slightly different note this month, where instead of us sharing something with you, we want to ask you to share something with us. We are entering the final stages of development for the Deep North, and for Valheim 1.0, and for that launch to be the best it possibly can be we are in need of your help! There is currently a patch out on the PTB that… | — | |

| Community | Word From the Devs: Yeah, That’s A Drawbridge Hello vikings! We began this month of April, as is customary, with a bit of a laugh. Most of you caught on to the fact that it was an April Fools joke, but we do want to make sure to clarify that there is not going to be an additional game mode in Valheim where you can romance all the bosses, as fun as that might have been. Who had the most charming dialogue options? Who had the most romantic e… |
Announcements are the developer’s own posts to the game’s Steam news feed: updates and their patch notes, in-game events, releases and sales. The important ones are marked on the players chart.

| Community | Word From the Devs: Winter Adventures Hello Vikings! While the story of Hervor Bloodtooth has come to an end, the same cannot be said for the Deep North. We continue to work away on crafting the biome, and today we want to show you a couple of different wintery snippets of what to expect, before spring is properly upon us! First out, we want to show perhaps one of our most Swedish aspects of the biome – the lingonberries. They can… | — |
| Community | Word From the Devs: Looking to the Future Hello Vikings! First of all, thank you for all the kind messages during our five year anniversary earlier this month. We wouldn’t be here without all of you! You might also have noticed that we announced that Valheim is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year! We’re really excited for this, and as usual we’re very thankful to have Piktiv helping us out with the port. Please note that the re… | — |
| Game update | Patch 0.221.12 We've got a couple of fixes for you today! Please also note that playing using Vulkan might currently cause Valheim to be unstable and/or crash. If you want to continue using Vulkan, you can disable the FPS limiters in e.g. the Nvidia Control Panel for a hopefully smoother experience. Rest assured that we're working on a solution for the Vulkan issue, however, and that it should hopefully be ba… | 21981559 |
| In-game event | Patch 0.221.10 – Five Years of Valheim! Greetings vikings! Today marks the five year anniversary since Valheim was first released into Early Access – and what an incredible five years it’s been! 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… | 21713235 |
| Community | Word From the Devs: It’s Freezing! Greetings, vikings! 2026 is here, and we hope you’re just as eager for this year as we are! We’ve been having quite a bit of winter weather here in our corner of the world lately, which feels apt as we’ll be sharing with you the ninth part of The Voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth today: What was it that she saw, snow and frost covering more than just the Deep North or the Mountains? Only dreams, perh… | — |
| Community | Word From the Devs: Through the Roof Greetings vikings! We’ve truly hit the colder part of the year now, which gives us plenty of inspiration for the Deep North landscape. And just as we continue to work on the biome, Hervor Bloodtooth is continuing her journey: Many of you have speculated for a long time, and as we now take a closer look at some of the abandoned structures in the Deep North, we want to properly confirm that the u… | — |
| Community | Word from the Devs: Picking Up the Thread Hello vikings! We want to start with mentioning a Unity security vulnerability that occurred a few weeks back. There is no evidence that the vulnerability ever reached Valheim in any way, and we hurried to patch the game with the necessary updates from Unity as soon as we could. We didn’t make any announcement about this at the time as we didn’t want to cause unnecessary alarm, but we do also w… | — |
| Community | Word From the Devs: We Fight On! Greetings vikings! Since our last check-in we have moved the Call to Arms update from the Public Test Branch and into the Live version of the game! We want to thank everyone who tested the game during the PTB, as well as everyone who has played it since the official release. We hope you’re not too bruised from your battles! There are possibly some more tweaks coming to that update in the coming… | — |
| In-game event | Patch 0.221.4 – Call To Arms It's time to bring Call to Arms from the PTB and into Valheim proper! As always, a huge thank you to everyone who has tested it already, and a grand welcome to all new players! This updates features plenty of ways of self-improvement – whether that be wooden weapons for sparring with your comrades, or a built structure to hone your fighting skills against. You can also find a brand new type of… | 19825864 |

| Community | Word from the Devs: Summer in Sight Hello vikings! Summer is here already! In case you’ve missed it, that also means that you’re able to build the Maypole and craft the Midsummer Crown in Valheim – you’ll be able to do so for the rest of June and through the first week of July, so there’s plenty of time still to enjoy the time of the summer solstice. There’ll be no warm summer weather in the Deep North though! Last time we saw He… | — |
| Community | Word From the Devs: Mystery Foes Hello vikings! We want to begin with mentioning that we’ll be renaming these monthly blog posts to “Word From the Devs”, since many of you have felt that the name “Development Blog” isn’t as fitting anymore. We hope that the new naming will be more suitable, and that it will cover everything these posts are about! We also want to reassure you all that we are very much still working on the game,… | — |
| Community | Development Blog: Rock On! Hello vikings and Rocky-fans! It’s April, and you might have noticed that we were a bit mischievous earlier this month… For clarity, we did a repost of our old April Fools jokes, and as funny as these videos may be they will remain only jokes. But the video that was brand new – the trailer for Rocky the Pet Rock – was no joke at all! Rocky is very much a real thing in the game, though we won’t… | — |
| Game update | Patch 0.220.5 We've gone digging deep into our archives today, vikings! We found some old stuff that you will recognize already (but we're putting it all here anyway so no one misses it), but we also found something that's been gathering dust for ages, perhaps even since the 90s! We made sure to digitize the old cassette for you, for your convenience. Patch Notes: * New build piece: Rock (it’s a friend!) * N… | 17878707 |
| Community | Development Blog: Venturing Forth Greetings vikings! We’d like to start off this post by saying thank you to everyone we met at GDC this year! It’s always a pleasure to get to meet people who have played our game, and this time around was no exception. It was great to meet you! But a new blog post also means by now that it’s time for a new episode of the Voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth. As she is making her way further inland, what… | — |
