Hello vikings!

We would like to start off on a slightly different note this month, where instead of us sharing something with you, we want to ask you to share something with us. We are entering the final stages of development for the Deep North, and for Valheim 1.0, and for that launch to be the best it possibly can be we are in need of your help! There is currently a patch out on the PTB that features a rework of the save system, and we would be eternally grateful if you wanted to switch over to the PTB and test it out. What we would ask you to be particularly attentive to is any issues with your savedata or with the network functionality – if you find any issues pertaining to this (or any other bugs, of course) please report them in our official form[valheim.com]. Thank you most kindly!

On the topic of sharing, we also want to hear about your experiences of Valheim as a whole! Over the years we have received so many stories about people finding friends, community and love through the game, and we want to highlight these tales of kinship and joy. If you would like to tell us about what Valheim has meant to you, we encourage you to record a short video and submit it via this form[forms.gle]. It doesn’t have to look professional by any means, just follow the specifications listed in the form. Most importantly, tell us your story!

Of course we’re not only asking things of you this month, we also have some things to share on our end! First of all we want to let you all know to tune in to the PC Gaming Show[www.pcgamingshow.com] on 7 June, as there might be something pretty interesting happening there from a Valheim point of view. You won’t want to miss it!

Another thing we want to share with you is the proper first look at some of the achievements that will be featured with Valheim at the 1.0 release! You’ve been asking for achievements for a long time, and we’re happy to say that there will be over 50 of them. We won’t tell you what you need to do to acquire them just quite yet, but perhaps you can make a guess or two?


This month we’re setting our sights on this sprawling Hall of the Mountain King, built by Archimedes[discord.com]. Looking good!

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.

Sharpen your swords!
