Valheim is an upcoming survival game that will enter Early Access on Steam on February 2, 2021. The developers have attracted attention with a new trailer – and it shows what you can expect from the game.
This is shown in the trailer: In the new Early Access trailer for Valheim, the developers showcase some of the content of the new co-op survival game. Features on display include:
- Combat with melee and ranged weapons
- a type of magic
- undead, skeletons, and plenty of mythical monsters
- various biomes with dungeons
- crafting and building
- “War, Honor, Glory, and Death”
All of this is accompanied by the song “Shield Wall” by the famous metal band Amon Amarth. The musical accompaniment perfectly illustrates how tough things will apparently get in Valheim:
Valheim – The new survival game in a Viking setting
What is Valheim? We have already introduced Valheim in our upcoming survival games for 2021. It is a co-op game set in a Nordic environment. You play as a Viking who has fallen in battle and has been brought to Valheim by the Valkyries.
In the procedurally generated world, you are to fight against mythical monsters and prove that you deserve the favor of the gods. A “brutally tough combat system” and battles against bosses are at the forefront. Roughly, it looks like a mix of Conan Exiles and Life is Feudal.
Valheim is being created by Iron Gate and published by Coffee Stain Publishing. The publisher has previously released two popular games, Satisfactory and Deep Rock Galactic.
Here is the Steam page for Valheim.
When and where can I play it? Valheim has been in beta but will exit beta on January 29, 2021. It is set to enter Early Access for PC on Steam on February 2, 2021. There is currently no information regarding a console version or pricing.
And now excuse me, I need to headbang for a while and then go die in DOOM Eternal with its awesome metal soundtrack.
