Hail, adventurers!
Grab a mug of mead and gather round the drakkar – the full release of Vilde smashes into Steam on June 12th.
Before we tell you more about the game itself – here’s everything we added since the demo launched three months ago.
What’s New Since the Demo
- 3 complete boss fights
- Ent, the Forest Guardian – now reworked with smarter patterns.
- Ymir, the Ice Colossus – boss on the Mountain Peak.
- Forgeheart, the Power Core – multi-phase mechanical monstrosity.
- Companion – Bjorn — a grumpy Viking who got turned into mead (long story). Now he haunts your bottle, gives unsolicited life advice, and complains in 12 languages.
- 18 new enemy types – Trolls, Huldra, Fire Kobolds, Dragons, Golems and more. Every single one got fresh AI, custom VFX, and a full rebalance.
- 12 new guns – from Sleipnir’s Shadow rocket-lance to Riftfrost beam cannon. Find ’em, upgrade ’em, break the DPS meter.
- Outer-Temple & Mountain arenas – procedural layouts, verticality, lava parkour, chaos.
- Loot System 2.0 – pick-one-of-three chests plus new arena objectives for bonus drops.
- Talents 2.0 – multi-layered node trees, new visuals, full rebalance.
- 112 new FX systems – muzzle flashes, spells, enemy abilites.
- Achievements added
- Relit levels – Misty Forest, Mountain Peak, and Fire Temple now 100 % clearer and prettier.
