I purchased Valnir Rok in October, 2017, shortly after it entered Early Access on Steam. The concept was appealing: a Viking-themed survival RPG with crafting, exploration, and multiplayer.
Unfortunately, development appears to have stopped.
The game remains in Early Access nearly nine years later, and based on public build history, the last update was March 8, 2021. Since then there have been no patches, announcements, or meaningful communication about the future of the game.
As it stands today:
1. Still labeled Early Access
2. Last build released March 2021
3. No visible development activity for years
4. Extremely low player population
The idea behind the game had real potential, but after owning it since 2017, it’s difficult to recommend purchasing it in its current state.
Since this game launched, other Viking-themed survival games such as Valheim, ASKA and Tribes of Midgard have released and continued active development, offering a far more complete experience.
If you are considering buying Valnir Rok, understand that you are purchasing a largely unfinished Early Access title that appears to have been abandoned by its developers.
