Valheim’s Hearth & Home Update is the first major step in its 2021 road map. There is only one update – Mistlands – scheduled at the moment, but it does not have a release date. Before Iron Gate removed several pieces of content, the roadmap was much more ambitious.
The game has not been forgotten despite the slower release of new content. You can still get the game on Steam.
