Are you worthy of entering Valhalla? You have been sent to Valheim, the 10th Norse world. Only by defeating the mighty beasts of these lands will you win the favor of the gods. This quest will take you to the far reaches of this world, from the deepest forest to the highest mountain peak.

Valheim is an open-world exploration survival game set in a vast procedurally-generated purgatory inspired by norse mythology and viking culture. Players are tasked with taking back the realm from the ancient enemies of Odin, building mead halls and castles, crafting weapons and armour, and sailing the seas in search of new horizons and win the favor of the gods.

Valheim is a game about exploring a huge fantasy world inspired by norse mythology and viking culture. You start your adventure at the relatively peaceful center of Valheim. The further from the center you travel, the more challenging the world becomes. But you will also find more valuable materials that you can use to craft deadlier weapons and sturdier armor. You will also build your own viking strongholds and outposts all over the world. Eventually you will build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far...

Valheim is a huge procedurally-generated world, inviting players to explore lush forests, snow-topped mountain ranges and mystical meadows, all presented in striking Lo-Fi graphics. Valheim offers a dodge & block based combat system with a wide range of weapons for deathless vikings to battle primordial bosses of myth and legend. The viking adventure is playable solo, or with up to nine friends as no one wants to repeatedly face death alone. Between deaths, Valheim offers a flexible house and base building system, intuitive item crafting and ship building, and dedicated servers.

Valheim is now available through Steam Early Access for $19.99.

Valheim has sold more than three million units in just 16 days on Steam Early Access. The viking invasion continues unabated as Valheim’s peak concurrent player record continues to climb, surpassing 390,000 earlier this week, exceeding the all-time highs of AAA titles such as Monster Hunter: World, and GTA V. 

Not only are millions of vikings playing Valheim, but it's also sustaining a robust audience on Twitch. Currently the seventh most watched game on the platform, ahead of CS:GO, Dota 2, Minecraft, and Rust, fans have watched over 20 million hours of gameplay since launch. Valheim also attracted over 147,000 peak concurrent viewers on February 17th, it’s highest yet.

Iron Gate Studio has already revealed a living Early Access roadmap, promising new biomes, new enemies, and improvements to combat, ships and more.

“We were always working with the assumption that the EA launch would be somewhat successful, so I guess it does not really change our plans that much. Except that maybe we can afford a bigger office now," said Richard Svensson, CEO, Iron Gate Studio. On the Valheim community, he added "I really love when fans make paintings, music and other creative works inspired by Valheim. I guess I like to inspire people to create stuff"

“THREE MILLION?!! Already?” said Albert Säfström, CEO, Coffee Stain Publishing. “This level of success is uncharted territory for Coffee Stain. Thankfully we have Daniel Kaplan, who was part of Minecraft's rise, on our team, as well as the truly remarkable developers at Iron Gate. We're excited to be on this journey together."
