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). In addition to the biome, you can expect new enemies and a boss, tons of new crafting stuff, and more. You can check out a trailer for the Valheim Mistlands update, below.
