In the Ashlands, you’ll need to be careful about where you put your foot.
The developers of Valheim continue to work on their next major update, which aims to bring the so-called Ashlands to new, fiery glory and fill them with creatures and interesting locations. Now for the first time there is a picture of the new area and some information about what to expect there. What the developers previously revealed is summarized in this article:

In the previous version of the Ashlands we also find glowing metal, but it still serves no purpose. That too should change with the update. Maybe we can use it to forge a particularly strong suit of armor.
There is no release date for the update yet, but it will appear before then Hildir’s Quest
a minor update with new clothing, mysterious caves and some convenience features.
How do you like the new Ashlands? And what do you think we’ll find there? Feel free to write it in the comments!
