Valheim Next Major Update: Release Date Speculation

With the update of Valheim Mistlands that was released on 6th Dec, 2022; you must not expect the next update so soon. However, the official Discord channel quoted, “Updates will be released when they are ready”.

Let’s check on the previous updates to date so that you can get a rough guess about when the next update is going to be released.

Major Valheim Content	Release Dates
Launch into Steam Early Access	2nd February 2021
Hearth and Home update	16th September 2021
Mistlands update	6th December 2022

Now keeping this pattern in mind, you can guess that the next update, namely Valheim Ashlands would be updated somewhere in 2023. But, it is possible that the developer could release a completely different update sooner.

Similarly, it is also expected that between the time till the next update, there could be a bunch of other updates since the developer tries to add smaller pieces of content and features, like crossplay, and also keeps on balancing changes and new stuff altogether.

Valheim Ashlands Initial Details & Location

Since 2023 has just begun, Valheim’s third biggest update is definite to introduce the Ashlands Biome to the survival game. The updated location is positioned at the far South of the map, and also the developer states the Ashlands, are “a land of the dead, as well as a place with quite a volcanic nature,” stating that it is therefore a “large chunk of land”.

Similarly, the land backs the game goals to be more transparent during the update’s expansion. “This will mean you will see things in their early stages, and maybe even things that won’t end up making it into the game at all, but you will also hopefully have a better understanding of how far along the development has gotten.”

Furthermore, Valheim’s Ashland’s update was not given an exact release date, but it will be in 2023. However, there would be other updates as well.

Besides the release of the console, Hildir Quest’s new settings are going to be difficult regarding new clothes for fresh players. Also, the owner of the game plans to boost the number of convenience settings and is searching for feedback from its players.

Back in March, the developer delivered a new look at Ashlands’ terrain. The news that quality of life changes, comprising the ability to move items to and from chests in stacks together with a way to toggle manual snapping since buildings are on the way with Hildir’s Quest.

In April 2023, there is a work in progress about the recent development comprising numerous sliders for combat, the death penalty, and resources, along with a couple of presets.

Additionally, there is a look at siege engines, which are likely to be valuable while taking down the biome’s fortresses, together with work-in-progress models for the Charred and Fallen Valkyrie opponents.

So, Valheim’s 2023 roadmap stays promising, despite being considerably smaller than its original incarnation. Yet, it is good to keep in mind that development may impact its features in surprising ways.
