Iron Gate finally launches Valheim's Mistlands update amidst several new features in the latest patch.

A month following the Hearth and Home update's release, Iron Gate Studio began devoting most of its attention to creating Mistlands, a brand-new biome, according to GameRant. After a brief test period, the Mistlands update is now available.

In addition to a new biome, the game update offers a brand-new magic system that includes elemental and blood magic, non-hostile NPCs that help in the monster slaying, and enormous weapon fragments that can be found lying around the environment and provide Jotunn with hints.

What Is Valheim's Mistlands Update?

The update Valheim players have been waiting for has just gone live following a short public test period. Mistlands introduces a new environment to the mythological survival game.

According to PC Gamer, the roots of Yggdrasil can also be found here, where previously, the game did not allow players to reach them.

Iron Gate released an animated trailer on their official Youtube following the Mistlands update release.

Valheim's Mistlands update has also added new components to the game's building and crafting, such as new materials and pieces and the option to build a base defense to help protect homes from monsters by using automated weapons.
