Valheim is coming to Switch 2 this year

Valheim, the Viking survival game, is coming to the Switch 2 later this year. The game, inspired by Norse mythology, allows up to ten players to explore a procedurally generated open world. Players must craft gear, build shelters, and survive challenging combat encounters. The primary goal is to defeat various gods to earn entry into Valhalla. Alternatively, players can focus on gathering recipes and enjoying feasts. The Switch 2 version, technically an early access game, supports mouse controls and HD Rumble 2. Valheim originally launched on PC and later expanded to Xbox, with a PS5 release planned for later this year. The exact release dates for the PS5 and Switch 2 versions remain unannounced, potentially coinciding with the game's 1.0 release. The game's announcement occurred during a Nintendo Direct presentation. The anticipated arrival on Switch 2 was part of a broader showcase of content.
