Open-world survival game Valheim is officially going to leave Early Access on September 9th, bringing with it a huge update to the game.
The 1.0 update will come with the next biome, Deep North, which sounds like it will be quite a challenge. It's going to be cold with a lot of snow and ice, so surviving and exploring there might be quite perilous. You can expect to find new types of food, enemies, crafting materials, new things to build in your homes and a lot more.
One thing they previously mentioned is some "massive structure" that marked the end of Hervor's journey (a little mini series they did) as they teased "What lies beyond this gate shall remain a mystery for all but the truly worthy, however". I'm definitely curious to know what they have planned there for the end-game.
See the trailer below:

In their announcement they mentioned the release will also arrive on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. With full cross-play that includes Windows, Linux, macOS, XBOX.

Quoting: PyreticCongrats to the team on the full release! Can anyone chime in on how this plays on Linux compared to Windows?Linux version performs brilliantly as long as you choose Vulkan (not openGL) and have a card from the last 4 - 5 years.
Ive tested it on
- (old card, what a beast it was..) nvidia 1060 (6GB)
- 7800 XT (16GB) - play highest settings - and getting 180 fps.
Not sure about arc support (never tried it)

Quoting: PyreticCongrats to the team on the full release! Can anyone chime in on how this plays on Linux compared to Windows?Valheim has a native working linux version, they've fixed some EA problems already like catching the mouse properly.
I have no problems, but I've got a beast of a PC.

That said, I put in quite a few hours into this game when it came out. Haven't played it in over 4 years. Didn't even realized it was EA, until now. Is it worth going back to it?
