As technology is empowering the gaming industry, new games have emerged and made a huge success. The most recent on Steam, Valheim has entered its second year. The game is being shared on Valheim server hosting by millions of players across the world. It’s a crazy thought that it could be the next eSport.
What is the Valheim Gameplay?
The game is about the journey of a group of Vikings that are trying to get back to their homeland. The game is set in a Viking world, so it has some Norse mythology elements in it. The gameplay is really simple and the graphics are really beautiful.
Valheim was one of last year’s most successful indie games, and it looks like Iron Gate Studio is just starting to get more serious support for the program. Upcoming Mountain and Mist land upgrades will give players entirely new areas to explore, complete with their own residents and wildlife. It has entered the gaming world at a stormy pace last year, and the title could be an even greater success for the second year in a row.
Valheim is Becoming an eSport?
A player thought he could spice up Valheim with a tournament. The crazy discussion on Reddit presents players with several challenges in order to choose a winner at the end. One user comments, “You just turned Valheim into an eSport.”
Is it possible? The tournament is a cool idea, but it might be a while before you can play it. If you want to achieve something yourself in the meantime, the game offers you plenty of opportunities to do so.
The Speedrun community also recently discovered Valheim and there is already a first world record: all 5 bosses in less than 90 minutes. Here you can make a name for yourself in different categories.
Other Vikings rely on mods to make Valheim harder. There is no reward for this, but if you like challenges, you can make Valheim almost as difficult as you like.
Recently, some resourceful players are also working on a new, really big project. They want Valheim to be playable with more than just your closest friends. The squad consists of experienced modders who have previously operated private servers for WoW and who now also want to turn Valheim into an MMO.
The combat in Valheim isn’t anything special, but the developers are making it solid enough to work.
