Welcome back in another round of big numbers for Valheim, the latest little indie game that could. Iron Gate Studio’s survival-y craft-y viking game sold one million copies in the first week, two million in less than two weeks, and now three million just days later. Impressed as I am, I’m playing with Valheim now rather than telling you about his sales figures, so I’ve done us all a favor and predicted the next few milestones. You are welcome.
Valheim
Valheim is influenced by single player adventures like Zelda
Viking survival game Valheim has done some bloody numbers since it was released earlier this month. It soon became the fourth most played game on Steam, and just a few days ago developers Iron Gate Studios announced that it had already sold more than two million copies. At first glance, Valheim looks a bit like Viking Rust, and you might think this is where the inspiration comes from. According to co-founder of Iron Gate Studios, Henrik Törnqvist, it requires more influence from single-player action-adventure games and RPGs like The Legend Of Zelda and Skyrim.
Valheim plaster prepares for missing tombstone
Viking survival game Valheim has quite a moment. The early access adventure managed to sell more than 2 million copies in the first two weeks, meaning more than 2 million Vikings find and report bugs. Valheim today released a new patch to solve some such problems, including disappearing tombstones and deadly phantom hearths.
Valheim rises to 2 million copies sold in less than two weeks
Last week, the Falcons survival game Viking Crafting proudly announced that it had sold more than one million copies, a good thing for an early entry game. Well, Valheim is not done yet and is impressing Odin properly by doubling the number less than a week later. Valheim has now sold more than 2 million copies and blown its simultaneous Viking number out of the water to suit.
