After a long stint as a PC and Xbox exclusive, the developers have finally confirmed that the all-Swedish Viking sensation Valheim will be released on PlayStation 5 next year. The announcement came via a brand-new, bombastic trailer (which you can watch below) that invites us all to once again dream of the mythical, perilous land.

The trailer offers a moody journey through mist-shrouded forests, roaring storms, and fiery bosses, all showcased in the series' signature low-poly style that blends Nordic heritage with pure adventure. Crossplay will also be supported across all platforms, meaning long-time players can jump back in to help new PlayStation Vikings on their journey.

Will you be picking up Valheim on PlayStation next year?
