Since Valheim was released, developer Iron Gate AB has been steady at work producing new content for its hit game. As expected of a relatively small development team—the initial game being developed by a team of only 5 people—the updates for Valheim have been slow coming. With a forthcoming update, Iron Gate AB is expected to unveil the Mistlands update, which will introduce an entirely new biome into the game.
During Valheim's latest Midsummer update, fans were teased with tidbits of information about the Mistlands update, including the types of enemies to expect and quality-of-life features that will be implemented along with the new biome. Of course, while fans are undoubtedly excited to explore new lands, the Mistlands update also brings the promise of subsequent biomes, a few of which have already been teased.
