While we continue working on dynamic world events and pushing them further, we're also adding more features for crafting, building, and other survival gameplay elements.

This patch will arrive next Friday (August 8th).

Here's what the patch will bring:

The second world dynamic event now introduces visual changes to the world when it begins, with auroras in the sky and guiding runes leading to the entrance. Even if you choose not to take on the challenge, these will make the world feel more dynamic and diversify the atmosphere.

Now you can loot bones and skulls directly from dead enemies, or co-op friends...

And then use them for building.

You can now sit down to relax after a fight or gather around a campfire.

Character physics interacts with the landscape while sitting. This is also a “touch the grass” feature.

Fixed the physics issues that affected two-handed weapons. Their usage will now increase.

Added a gradual discovery system for crafting recipes. Some items, and many more in the future, will only appear in the crafting list after you discover them through triggers like collecting a new resource or completing a quest.

Added 2 bows and 3 two-handed axes available for crafting.

Added Odin's visage decoration and throne made of stone.

Added a placeable tent to provide shelter from rain and a place to relax during travel.

Added a new resource - Silver. The trader on the distant island sells more Silver at a much cheaper price.

Added a new trader to the map with his own selection of goods.

Added a Jeweled Bracer to the starting items.

Added a smooth fast travel camera animation.

Fixed a rare issue where the last enemy would not spawn during the camp quest.

Starting items will now only be granted the first time a character enters the world.

Thank you for your feedback and support!

Skål!

Hey!

We've just pushed a hotfix to the latest patch with several key fixes and additions:

• The Challenge entrance location is now much more clearly indicated by a marker and special world effects.

• Adjusted timings - shortened the Challenge entrance period, and the event now occurs once every 1-2 in-game days.

• Fixed Glory not being given in certain cases. Also, Glory and resource rewards are now given gradually based on performance, not just upon final completion of the Challenge.

• Made a "Challenge" tab avalable in the Survival menu.

• Improved the Challenge entrance visuals, including a gate appearance, added whisper sound effects and more cues.

• Fixed animals attacking players on the way to the Challenge entrance.

• Improved the visual effects for spirits.

• Updated the base Survival interfaces and added new audio feedback for inventory actions to make survival activities feel more responsive.

• Adjusted cooking notifications to be more understandable.

• Fixed a rare crash related to arrow impacts.

• Volumetric fog is now enabled for Low and Medium shadow settings.

The regular monthly update will arrive as usual at the end of the month.

Skål!
