well they have there own way to make the game, how they want it... after they updated you can play it and give them feedback like always...

like the boys in charge said: we are taking it slow, and making the game how we want with the communitys help to improve it... I wont never change from the Norse Myth era.

Early Access is Beta testing. Why would they have Early Access to Early Access? You're asking for some like Beta testing Inception stuff.

There's no "H&H Beta".

If you join their discord, and are a decent human being, they "may" invite you to sign a NDA to playtest stuff "if" they need people.

As stated there won't be a public beta branch you can opt into through steam due to EA and them wanting feedback through discord.

Why should there be a beta for something going to be released in 11 days?

No, there isn't a beta. Wait like the rest of us.

Thank you so much for the useful info!

Valheim is an Early Access game, so basically it's already a beta. If you bought the game, you're already in it. You'll get to test Hearth & Home along with everyone else :)

I see thought maybe there'd be some "early" testing for the update but it is a fair point the game is already early access.
