It’s Jan 1st, 2020, and I’m a bit hungover =). It’s soaked in optimism from the first line (edited for clarity): In the entry, Svensson recaps the game’s development progress, officially welcomes Tornqvist to the team, and celebrates the birth of his son.
#VALHEIM STEAM FULL#
This is clear in an Iron Gate blog post published on January 1st, 2020, a full year before Valheim’s Early Access launch. “It has become pretty hectic around here since launch.”ĭespite their faith in the core ideas behind Valheim, neither Svensson nor Tornqvist expected the game to explode in popularity the way it has. “We’re doing our best,” Iron Gate co-founder Henrik Tornqvist told Engadget. There are still only five people on the development team. To date, Iron Gate has sold more than 5.7 million copies of Valheim. It’s dense yet forgiving action-packed yet peaceful. Valheim sets players loose in an original realm of Viking purgatory, a vast, procedurally generated world filled with mythical Norse beasts, high seas, hunting and crafting. Players regularly compare the feeling to the first time they played Minecraft, marveling at the game’s scope, depth and atmosphere, and questioning how a team of just five developers managed to pack such an engrossing experience into a 1GB download. Steam reviews for Valheim exude a palpable sense of awe and relief. Iron Gate’s Viking survival sim rocketed up the charts, hitting 5 million copies sold after just one month in Early Access and surpassing huge titles like Dota 2 in terms of concurrent active players. Valheim went live on Steam exactly five weeks ago, and it’s been on fire ever since.
