Hearth and Home, the first major content update for Valheim, was a month ago. Now developer Iron Gate Studio grants Steam a closer look at what virtual Vikings can expect afterwards. Everyone’s thinking of the new Mistlands biome, of course, which will be the main attraction of the next big update.
However, the developers also want to install smaller patches beforehand, which have further innovations in their luggage. The first concept images show a new dungeon in the snow-covered mountain region. Icy cave walls in the dim torchlight should give you a first foretaste of the atmosphere of these places.
How the fun develops in the end remains explicitly open. The developers are not sure of the new dungeons or the Nebelland biome what the content will look like when they are released. At least you get an idea of the mood from the pictures shown:

One picture shows a Halloween lamp. It is already located in Valheim, so that you can celebrate Viking Halloween not necessarily historically correct, but at least in proper style. You can read about everything else that was added to Valheim with Hearth and Home here:

World remains unexplained
The developers of Iron Gate also clearly stated that it is not yet known whether your previous game worlds will survive the big Mistlands update. There may be a wipe that will reset all player progress.
At the current stage of development, however, the manufacturers cannot make any definite statements. We will of course keep you up to date as soon as we find out more. Iron Gate recommended starting from scratch at Hearth and Home.
However, the developers did not reveal a release date for the next update. So far, however, the team has taken its time – Hearth and Home came out around seven months after the early access release. In return, the patch was full to the brim with content and improvements.
