Valheim

Simulation

Valheim is a co-op exploration and survival game for 1-10 players from Iron Gate AB, published by Coffee Stain Publishing. You wake up in a procedurally generated Norse afterlife and push outward biome by biome, from the Meadows to the Ashlands and the Deep North, crafting better gear, building bases, sailing between islands and defeating the Forsaken bosses that guard each stage. Valheim entered Early Access in February 2021 and left it with the 1.0 release on 9 September 2026, which added the Deep North biome.
