Update: Come take a peek at the more in-depth article I wrote on what we know so far about the Valheim Ashlands update.

We are starting to see the bits and bobs of Valheim’s Ashlands coming out from the official blog. There is some random stuff they’ve released like pictures of weapons and the environment… but really. What else is there? What else could be theorize? We’re going to need some kind of protective item like the wolf fur cloak to deal with the fiery environment. That’s been standard so far. Though I don’t know if I want to give up my cloak of feathers for that. That bloody thing is just too darn useful. Visiting the ashlands right now yields a place filled with surtlings and coal and something called elemental/flmental ore which you can smelt…but not use. Obvious placeholders are obvious.

Some new types of mead are also likely and if they are smart we’ll see some kind of ice magic. I mean, ashlands has been a year or more in the making. We got Hildir’s first and that was fun, but I want more. Valheim is just so fun for me. Whether I’m doing some serious gaming or just want to blow off steam, that’s the game (other than Diablo, Sid Meir’s Pirates, or Final Fantasy 6) I always go back to.

What do you hope will be in the new update? Any juicy tidbits I missed? Come to our discord and tell me!
