Word From the Devs: Ready For A Fight!

Greetings vikings!

We’re back after a bit of a summer break, and we’ve got lots of things going on!

To start with, as you may have already noticed, we’re at Gamescom to present the latest update, Call to Arms. It’s available on the Public Test Branch right now for everyone who wishes to try it out! You can read the patch notes here, and we’ll of course share the trailer again, because we think it turned out pretty cool:

On site in Cologne we have our Iron Gate team members Robin, Andreas and Emilia, and while they might be a bit busy doing some interviews, they’re happy to stop and chat if you want to say hi to them.

But Gamescom isn’t the only event we’ll be attending; in a month we will also have a booth at Tokyo Game Show! If you’ll be attending, please come say hi! And even if you won’t be in Tokyo – keep an eye out, because we’ll be having an exciting announcement to make for that event as well.

Since there’s plenty of other things to focus on right now, we’ll be having a bit of a break from the Hervor episodes. We can promise that her voyage will continue, but first you will have to wonder about her fate a little longer.

With that said though, we don’t want to leave you entirely without a Deep North teaser for this month. Since we’re already fully focused on combat this month, let’s take a peek at one of the weapons you’ll be able to craft in the biome:

Build of the Month

And last but not least, it’s time to highlight some builds! Since we had a month without sharing any builds, we’ll of course share double now. First out is LootPursuer with this mystical build. Well done!

And we would also like to highlight this epic bridge by charass. Impressive!

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.

Fight well!
