Following its successful debut in 2021 for PC and in 2023 for Xbox, Iron Gate Studio’s Valheim will arrive for PS5 in 2026. A new trailer is available, narrated by none other than Neil Newbon of Baldur’s Gate 3, teasing the setting and what players can expect.
Set within a mysterious purgatory-like Norse world, Valheim sees fallen Vikings surviving and becoming strong enough to vanquish its many evils. Newbon’s voiceover teases that these entities existed long before the Vikings arrived, and we could learn more about their origins in subsequent updates.
The big question is whether Valheim will exit early access to coincide with the PS5 version. It’s seen extensive support and four big content updates over the years, from Hearth and Home expanding on the base-building and food mechanics to Mistlands and Ashlands, which added new biomes, enemies, and more.
The latest update, Call to Arms, overhauled combat while adding even more content. Stay tuned for more details on other features in the coming months.
It’s exciting to see Valheim expanding to new platforms! The game’s journey has been impressive, and it’s great that more players will get a chance to experience its unique world. Looking forward to what’s next for the community!

Absolutely, the PS5’s capabilities will definitely enhance the overall experience. I’m also curious to see how the game will utilize the DualSense controller features, like haptic feedback, to immerse players even further in the Viking world.
