Valheim developer Iron Gate Studio has released a new patch for the popular video game today that fixes several issues and updates several others. It is not a particularly large patch, but it is always nice to see regular updates — even small ones — as the developers continue to work on the Early Access video game.

In terms of specific parts of the update that will likely be of interest, this patch includes the visual overhaul of the troll and bosses. The harpoon mechanics have also been overhauled. The rest of the included updates are nice, but those are likely to be the most noticeable ones.

Here is how developer Iron Gate Studio describes Valheim, if you are somehow not familiar:
“A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.”
Valheim is currently available in Early Access on PC via Steam for $19.99. Per the developer, it is expected to remain in Early Access for at least a year. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the popular Viking PC video game right here.
