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 release will only be for Nintendo Switch 2, and not for the first Nintendo Switch console. More information about the release will come in time, but for now you can wishlist the game on the Nintendo eShop.

With these two milestones behind us we also want to share with you the final part of the Voyage of Hervor Bloodtooth:

Now, it must be said that Hervor’s story took place quite a long time ago, in a Deep North that’s a little bit different from the biome that you will explore yourselves, but perhaps there might still be some traces left of her for you to find…

One thing that will still remain standing despite the passage of time is of course the massive structure that marks the end of Hervor’s journey. What lies beyond this gate shall remain a mystery for all but the truly worthy, however.

And while this marks the end of Hervor’s story, we will of course keep having further teasers in our Words from the Devs in the months to come, rest assured! The Deep North continues to take shape with every passing day, and we really look forward to sharing it with you all once it’s ready.

Build of the Month

It was particularly hard to choose a build to highlight this month, you have been busy! In the end, we want to shine the spotlight on “Eikthyr’s Pedestal” by Porter. Well done!

If you want your creation to be featured in this section, use the hashtag #ValheimBotM on social media. Please also send us a DM or email with a link to your post, to make sure that we see it. Now you can also submit builds on Discord, by posting in the build-of-the-month forum channel! No DM is necessary if you post there, as that’s our own forum.

Skål!
