Well met, vikings! The year is drawing to a close and we have reached the final dev blog for 2023. We know that a lot of you have been asking about when the Ashlands update is due to be released, and we now want to officially confirm that it will be released sometime during the first half of 2024! Like with all our updates, it will hit the PTB first and then the live version a short while after that. But for now we want to leave you with a little something over the holidays, so were going to share with you the first of a short series of Walk & Talk videos, in which community manager Josefin, artist/generalist Robin and programmer Jonathan chat about some Valheim and Ashlands topics. Its not unlike the Fireside Chat videos we have previously made, but in a slightly different packaging: [previewyoutube=R9sTRrG1wwg;full][/previewyoutube] Just in case you missed it, we have also shared another interview with one of our freelancers. This time it was Lee Williams, the writer behind a lot of Valheims lore, who got to introduce himself and his creative process! And now, as usual, over to the teasers! Since its almost yuletide, we wanted to show you some of the tasty-looking dishes we have cooked up in the Ashlands kitchens. May we tempt you with some Mashed Meat, a Piquant Pie, or perhaps a Spicy Marmalade?
Of course, you cant cook without ingredients. Not much can grow in the hot and arid landscape of the Ashlands, but some plants are resilient enough to still thrive there. We thought wed give you a glimpse of what they will look like:
And last, but the very opposite of least, we want to show you a hint of how absolutely badass youll be able to look in the Ashlands:
