Oh yeah, there’s another early access craft survival game on the horizon, but hey, this one has vikings. In this Rust ’em up called Valheim, you’ll build yourself a home in a “procedurally generated purgatory” full of supernatural villains inspired by Norse legend. Iron Gate’s multiplayer Viking combat enters Early Access early next month on February 2.
“Besieged by creatures of chaos and former enemies of the gods, you are the new guardian of primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s former rivals and bringing order to Valheim,” say the creators. Before you set out to march to attack and dethrone gods, I suspect – as evidenced by the shot above – that you will begin your adventure by chopping down trees. Sure enough, spot some wood chopping in Valheim’s new trailer below. Be careful though, it looks like falling trees can actually kill you.
Once you’ve crafted some gear and maybe a rowboat or two, Valheim will send you off to fight beasts like hordes of skeletons, tree monsters, and huge wicked deer. You won’t have to go it alone either. With buddies by your side, you can work towards building a colony of mead halls, farms, and ships. Valheim will allow you to host a multiplayer session or, if you have the know-how, create your own server for a lingering Viking Purgatory.
Iron Gate says they expect Valheim to be in Early Access for at least a year. During this time, they’ll be adding additional crafting items, new enemies and bosses, new biomes, and more.
You can find Valheim on Steam where he will land in Early Access on February 2.
