Valhalla Hills New Festive Holiday Content

Even the Vikings get into the Christmas spirit with a new update to Valhalla Hills, the strategy game from Daedalic and Funatics. This latest update brings seasonal decoration to the Viking villages.

And, perhaps more importantly, parts of the mountain are now shrouded in the fog of fear, making those parts invisible to the player. What is hidden there? Only the boldest will find out!

The update is available now, and will automatically download upon launching the game.

[This update is called Fog of fear / Fog of the Unknown]

  • Fog of war – Parts of the mountain are covered in fog. Who knows what’s hidden behind it? Find out!

  • Changes in game design
    – The small dwelling requires less space.
    – The accumulated honor of your Vikings is displayed directly in the main menu.
    – There are more Vikings available in hard mode to storm the mountain.
    – The kitchen can now store mushroom.
    – The Farmer always needs a sickle now.
    – The random mountain generator has been reworked. Now your Vikings should always be able to achieve their goal.

    – Deleted messages are not displayed again.
