An upcoming Valheim update will rework the survival sandbox's Mistlands region, with developer Iron Gate Studio teasing the addition of giant spiders and a unique new bow. The Norse-inspired adventure was released in early access back in February 2021, and since then the game has been steadily expanding ahead of its official launch. Earlier this year a 2022 Mistlands expansion for Valheimwas teased, with the update set to introduce new creatures and mechanics to the game's mysterious area.

Over time these updates continue to add and improve mechanics, such as the player's ability to build a base as a safe haven, and the recent Valheim frost caves update gave players claustrophobic new areas to explore which are teeming with new cultist enemies.
