Valheim's creative director worked on new co-op dungeon crawler in spare time

Developer Iron Gate Studios released Valheim into early access almost exactly five years ago. Work on the survival game's final biome is underway, and the launch on PlayStation and Switch 2 is planned for 2026.

A recent announcement said three members of Valheim's team, including creative director Robin Eyre, have been working on a different game, the co-op dungeon crawler Begraved, "in the evenings and on weekends." That disclosure has not sat well with some players.

While there's been no official word, the piece says the author wouldn't be surprised if Valheim's long-awaited version 1.0 finally arrived this year.
