Will Valheim Get More Updates After 1.0?

With the official release of Valheim 1.0, the developers at Iron Gate also dropped an FAQ. This post has plenty of answers for older saves, world states, and crossplay, but one question stands miles above the rest. Valheim’s future.

The Future of Valheim

This question has been on everyone’s mind for years. For half a decade of development, every early-access update was free. No microtransactions, no DLC, no other purchases. Paired with the lack of confirmation of what was in store after Valheim got to the Deep North biome.

But this FAQ asked: Will the game continue to get updates after 1.0?

“We will continue to improve the game with bugfixes and quality of life stuff, though for exactly how long the game will continue to receive updates is currently too soon to say. Likewise, it is too soon to say whether or not there will be more content added to the game in the future – but as always, we will be sure to announce any news on our channels!”

It’s an answer. But not the one that many fans were looking for. We and many others have said time and time again that thousands of players will very likely purchase DLC, or future paid content, if it means new developments or adventures for Valheim.

Right before 1.0, Iron Gate also posted a video showcasing the development and emotional journey this game has had for both its makers and the community. This is evidence enough that lots of folks don’t want this game to end.

Even if Deep North brings a narrative and planned ending to the series, Fans still hope there will be more content to come, or at the very least another adventure in this universe.
