Word from the Devs: Almost there…

Greetings vikings!

We hope you’re having a wonderful summer! We’re currently gearing up for the 1.0 release in September, fixing some final bugs and getting everything ready for you to experience in just a few weeks. We hope you’re as excited as we are!

In the meantime, please do make sure you check out our 1.0 FAQ, which covers many of the questions we have been asked about the release. As always, we recommend that you start a new playthrough to get the best possible Valheim experience, but we also understand that many of you will want to visit the Deep North as soon as you can, and we have tried to answer any questions relating to that!

And one last time in case you missed it, the 1.0 announcement trailer:

Watch on YouTube

As you know, next week we will be at Gamescom in Cologne, and we really hope to see some of you there. If you’re visiting, make sure to stop by our booth in hall 10 and say hello! And regardless if you’re there or not, make sure to keep an eye out for a brand new trailer that will be premiering during the event. We will be seeing some familiar faces…

And with that, we’ll see you on the other side of 1.0!

Build of the Month

For many years now, we have been sharing your wonderful and creative buildings under this headline. With the Early Access journey coming to an end, we will also be wrapping up this particular segment – though we will of course still be curious to see what it is you’re building in the game. Keep an eye out on our social channels, because you can be certain that we will be asking you to share what you’ve made!

To round off, we will highlight two builds this time. First out is The Bridge by Hi, I'm Klaus. Look at all those creative solutions!

And last, but not least, we want to direct your attention to the Cathedral of the All-Father, built by Ayriv. Since we’ll be going to Cologne it feels only fitting, after all!

Sharpen your axes and raise your shields!
