Where to play
Valheim is a Viking-themed survival game where players build, explore, and combat their way through procedurally generated Norse-inspired worlds. Since its early access launch in February 2021, it has maintained a dedicated following across PC and Linux.
The game is preparing to exit early access with Version 1.0, which will bring a price increase alongside its official release. The upcoming full launch will also extend Valheim to console platforms. Meanwhile, the game's design has proven influential within the industry - its approach to exploration and survival mechanics has informed development decisions for upcoming titles like Atelier Karia, demonstrating Valheim's impact on indie and AA game design trends.
