Valheim Sequel Is a Possibility, Says Lead Artist

A lead artist on Valheim affirms the possibility of a sequel but notes that developer Iron Gate Studio already shot down one proposal.

In a preview conducted by GamesRadar, it seems that Valheim developer Iron Gate is not singularly focused on the adored survival experience, with lead artist Robin Eyre confirming that gamers could see a sequel in the future. Eyre added that his proposal had been rejected, which would have seen the Greydwarfs become protagonists in a pixilated side-scroller. Items acquired in this spinoff could carry over to Valheim or "if you go into [Valheim's] credits, you can play the side-scroller Greydwarf game."

GamesRadar noted that although Eyre's concept will not be developed upon, Iron Gate is open to ideas. Given Valheim's success and small development team, finances are of no present concern, with senior developer Jonthan Smars going so far as to claim there exists no pressure to do "lots of planning and budgeting to plan out the coming 10 years of Valheim," suggesting that players can expect a lot more to come.

Additionally, Smars reaffirms that Valheim will not see any paid DLC and the team expects to "continue working on the remaining in-game biomes until Valheim version 1.0." A recent update ensured that cross-play functionality will be up and running when the game comes to Xbox consoles, and it has already arrived on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service for PC.

Man fuck the Valheim devs. They promised a roadmap, and sold the game on that road map, then they scrap it all and dick around for a year posting on twitter about buying a horse, and toy swords. How about instead of dicking around with thoughts of sequels and spin offs, you deliver the updates you promised when people bought your game?
Idk that's just my thoughts though, it'd be nice if devs at least tried to deliver on their promises, and gamers held them more accountable to what they promise.

On one hand you are absolutley right on the other hand: they made tons of money with a game that was genuinely fun. Let them have some rest and enjoy life for a bit until they are forced back into working their butts of.

Isn't the first game still in EA?
