While similar in many other ways, this map generation sets them apart from each other and caters to different player interests.
Valheim puts players in the role of Vikings as they are stuck in Purgatory exploring the fabled Yggdrasil, The World Tree. The story is open-ended, with players tasked with exploring the seas, forests, and snows of a dangerous land as they create a holding for themselves. Likewise, V Rising has similar open-ended elements with players becoming immortal vampires instead of Vikings. However, while Valheim heavily leans into themes of exploration, V Rising takes a more structured approach with quests and a static map.
