Valheim – Mistlands Update Now Live

Having launched on the Public Test Branch a few weeks back, Valheim’s Mistlands update is now live on the game’s main early access branch, featuring a new biome with its own items, systems and enemies. It also comes with a fishing update, a series of miscellaneous improvements, and some assorted fixes.

And then, there’s this animated trailer:

And the gameplay trailer from before:

More on that:

Gather your friends and gear up, for it’s time to embark on the voyage to the Mistlands! We have worked hard on this update for the past nine months now, and we’re so happy to finally be able to share it with all of you.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has participated in the Public Test period for this update, as your feedback has been very helpful. Given that Valheim is in Early Access some things are still subject to change, of course, but right now we feel assured that the Mistlands update is stable and ready for all of you.

An important thing to note is that the Mistlands biome will only generate in areas you have not yet discovered. Therefore, if you have explored a lot of your world, you might be better off starting a new one in order to actually be able to travel to the Mistlands. As per usual, mods will also most likely cause the game not to launch, as they are only compatible with the latest Live version of the game. If you have mods, you will either need to remove them or wait for the mod to be updated before you can play.

If you have managed to keep yourself from playing during the Public Test period we suspect you’re rather eager to dive into the game by now, so we won’t make this post particularly long. You’ll find the full patch notes behind the spoiler marker further down in this post, below the abbreviated version. You will also find the gameplay trailer, in case you want to take a peek at what the Mistlands will hold before you enter.

We do have one more treat for you though! You might remember the Viking trio from our Hearth & Home trailer last year, and you can now rest assured that their adventures aren’t over. See for yourself what their journey to the Mistlands looks like in this brand new animated trailer:
