Valheim — Overview
Valheim is Iron Gate's Viking survival-crafting game, still in Early Access since 2021 despite selling tens of millions of copies. Progression is gated by biome and boss: Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, Mountains, Plains, Mistlands, and Ashlands each unlock new metal tiers, gear, and food, and every major boss drops a summoning trophy plus a Forsaken Power you can swap based on the task ahead. Character creation covers gender, skin tone, hairstyles, beard, and hair tone. The final major biome, Deep North, arrives with the confirmed 1.0 release on September 9, 2026.
