Valheim 1.0 Update Release Date
It would be reasonable to think the game’s been in v1.0 for years, but no, actually. Valheim 1.0 arrives on September 9th, together with yet another new region and bunch of content.
It was revealed during the PC Gaming Show with a frosty trailer presenting the new biome: a frigid deep north, plagued by many troubles for you to solve or survive.
Valheim grew significantly in the 5+ years since the initial release, with multiple biomes, expansive crafting, tonnes of new challenges and opportunities, including extremely deadly locales.
It’s incredible that all of that was released as free updates leading up to a full version, rather than paid expansions. The game’s complexity grew as well, to some extent making a wiki a necessary companion for interactions with its subsystems.
Valheim 1.0 with the Deep North expansion arrives on September 9th, and who knows what comes next?
