Valheim’s Mistlands update has been teased for a long time, since the game’s been out really, but now a public test version of the expansion has finally arrived. As you would expect, the update delivers the new Mistlands biome, which can appear in areas of the map you haven’t explored yet (if you’ve already gone everywhere, you may want to start a new game).

Valheim can be played on PC. You can access the public test version of the Mistlands update by going into the betas menu on Steam, selecting “Betas” from the dropdown and entering the code “yesimadebackups”. Remember, this is still a test, so Iron Gate aren’t promising full stability. A full Mistlands release date has not been announced yet.
