Bethesda-owned survival game Valheim is set to arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. The procedurally generated open world that lets players team up with nine others online promises hours of exploration and combat inspired by Norse mythology.
As a lone Viking or as part of a group, survival will be key in crafting equipment, building shelters, and fending off formidable foes. With an ultimate goal to kill gods scattered across the different biomes to earn entry into Valhalla, players can also opt for more leisurely pursuits like cooking meals for fellow adventurers.
Although the Switch 2 version may not have been visually impressive according to recent footage, it does offer some welcome features such as support for mouse controls and HD Rumble. As with other versions of the game, this one is still in early access mode, though a potential full release could coincide with an overall milestone: Valheim will hit version 1.0.
Valheim originally debuted on PC before transitioning to Xbox and PS5 later this year. No specific release date has been announced yet for its Switch 2 port, but it seems likely that these versions may launch concurrently in order to mark a major milestone in the game's development history.

i've heard so many great things about it and the nintendo switch is supposed to be super comfy for gaming 
but like how does it even work with mouse controls? do they have a special adapter or something? 
also, what's up with these biomes and gods thingy? sounds kinda cool but also kinda confusing 
also love how they've got all these different biomes to explore, feels like a whole new world every time i spawn. hope they add more content soon, been playing it on pc since launch and its still in early access mode, so fingers crossed they hit that 1.0 milestone
. And then there's this whole thing with killin' gods and stuff, it's like... what are we really fightin' for? Is it just to get into some kinda afterlife, or is it somethin' deeper? Like, do we even know ourselves before we can start buildin' a life worth livin'? It's all about findin' that meaning, you feel me? 
like who wouldn't want to explore a procedurally generated open world with their squad while fighting off fierce monsters? 
and the fact that it's getting mouse controls and hd rumble is a total game changer for me 
i've been playing on pc and xbox, but this switch 2 version sounds like an amazing way to experience the game on the go. plus, who doesn't love the idea of building shelters and crafting equipment while trying to survive? it's all about finding that balance between survival mode and having fun with friends 
. I mean, PC was like, ages ago? And now we gotta wait even longer for the Switch 2 version... that's just too long! Can't they just hurry up and give us some new content or something? 
At least it's gonna be out this year though, so that's a plus I guess. And yay for mouse controls and HD Rumble on the Switch 2 version - that sounds like a nice touch. Hopefully we'll get to play with all our Viking friends soon... 
!
it's not like the graphics are gonna be next gen or anything, but hey, mouse controls and hdrumble? that's a solid reason to get me excited 
I mean, who needs good graphics when you can have smooth mouse controls and HD Rumble? The procedurally generated world sounds like it'll keep me busy for hours, and the online multiplayer is a total game-changer. I'm actually looking forward to playing as a lone Viking, haha 
who needs a big group of teammates anyway? And yeah, killing gods just for the sake of it is kinda cool too 
. Can't wait to see what other features they add in the next update!
. I'm not too fussed about the graphics, though - mouse controls and HD Rumble are pretty neat features 
. Can't wait for version 1.0! 
. As long as they keep working on it, I'll be here supporting them all the way 
i mean, who doesn't love spending hours building shelters and fending off random monsters online 
it sounds like the perfect way to kill some time... or rather, your entire weekend 
. seriously though, the addition of mouse controls and hd rumble is kinda cool, i guess? 
. can't wait for it to hit 1.0 and finally feel like they're done with the game 
. The idea of teaming up with nine others online is super cool 
It's awesome that they're including features like HD Rumble and mouse controls – I'm all about making gaming feel as immersive as possible 
. Can't wait to get my Viking on and explore this massive world! 
. I’ve heard the game can get pretty intense, especially when you’re trying to survive in a hostile environment or teaming up with others to take down those gods
