Hey does anyone know if a new world is needed after an update? I don't want to keep making new worlds every update. Just wondering because I know this past update was big and the next big one might have new biomes.

odds are for the major update, u need new worlds unless u dont explore at ALL. you stay on your starter island. they like to make old wolrd good unless u dont explore.

i say if u have a favorite seed. save it and use it when the game is done in 2 years.

2 years is an overwhelmingly positive outlook. Optimism comparable to a utopian pipe dream. But sure. Maybe. Guess we'll see.

Unless the developers go back on their word and cut out a massive portion of the content they originally promised to finish. There was, what, five or six updates planned? And the first one took about 10 months to complete? I'd make a rough estimate of approximately 3.5 more years of development if the developers are true to their word about their original intentions.

Then again, it's entirely possible that they've changed their minds about what their intentions are now moving forward. They don't owe you or me or anybody who purchased their game a single thing now. I'm going to assume the worst and say they will only complete one or two more updates before washing their hands of Valheim for good.
