Valheim prepares for 1.0 full release and console expansion

The survival game Valheim is transitioning from Early Access to its full 1.0 version. This update introduces over 50 new achievements and a new biome called the Deep North. The game is also slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

Players using existing save files from the Early Access period can continue their progress, as new content will be implemented into existing worlds. However, continuing with old saves may result in missing certain experiences, as some new features in the Deep North biome are designed for unexplored areas.

Regarding technical aspects, Valheim does not feature official mod support. Because current mods were created by independent users without official developer tools, they may become incompatible with the 1.0 update and require manual adjustments. Additionally, a new system will track statistics for achievements starting from the 1.0 download; players may need to repeat certain tasks to unlock them. The system will also prevent players from earning achievements if cheats were previously activated on their character or world save.
