Upcoming Yulidays Festive Event – Dec 13th to Jan 2nd
Hiló Vikings,
Heads up – the Yulidays Festive Event RETURNS in game from December 13th to January 2nd!
Join us next week for:
🎁 3 Weekly Festive Challenges
🦌 Earn the Yuledeer Pet
🏠 Main Menu and Village makeover
✨ New Cosmetics
We’ll be sharing the full patch notes next week, so keep an eye out for that! There will also be 2 hours of downtime beginning at 8am EST that day.
This Festive Event is a returning one from last year - meaning that content also makes a return, among the newness. This Event is our way to celebrate the holidays together, while our main focus has been on our next major update (including new content, bug fixes, QoL) to follow in 2023. 🙂

Valhalloween Festive Event - Ongoing
Our Valhalloween Festive Event is currently ongoing - it comes with an increase to the Construction limit, quality of life improvements, 3 Festive Challenges and more. Here's a quick recap of what rolled in with the patch:
And since our Week 2 Challenge is currently ongoing, here's what that Frog Prince Pet looks like!
Guides
If you're hopping in for the first time (welcome, Viking!) we have some pretty great guides created by our community! You can check those out here:
We're always on the lookout for more, so don't hesitate to drop by our Discord if you have some tips to share!
Reporting Issues
If you’re experiencing any bugs or issues, we're here to help! Please be sure to either head to our Discord or Forums to receive real-time assistance. You can find the full list of currently known issues here.
Reviews
Lastly, we wanted to take a moment to openly and honestly speak on our current Steam review score. We've been compiling the top negative review feedback, and noting actionable moves we can take on our part to address these comments, which are entirely valid and constructive. We have always approached development with an open ear to our community.
We have been receiving a high influx of players who are unable to start the game (due to the regional firewalls in Mainland China, and unfortunately, not in our control). We've created a sub-forum here to help bridge this gap in translation and to hopefully better inform those players.
We hope that, despite the current score, you can enjoy your time in Midgard and become part of our amazing community. We appreciate you, your feedback, and all your kind words!
Got questions about the game? We'll be hanging in the comments!
Live Stream - Community Stream, Reviewing your Feedback, Valhalloween Challenge!
Hiló Vikings,
Come join us live on Twitch and here on Steam tomorrow, Friday October 14th at 3:00pm EST to go through the Valhalloween patch notes, review your feedback, and ask us anything you want to know about Tribes of Midgard! 🎃
We'll also be doing some ~trivia~ like last time, and SHiFT Codes will be floating by! 👻

The Valhalloween Festive Event has begun! (Oct 11th - Nov 1st)
Embrace the spooky season! This celebration returns to Midgard today, October 11th, 2022. Everyone and everything from Valhalla, to the Village, to the Goblins (and even some Helthings) will be showing off their seasonal makeovers. The Valhalloween themed main menu and night defense musical tracks will also be making their return!
Along with the Festive changes, we’ve introduced improvements to the Construction system - quintupling the build limit on PC and doubling the limit on all other platforms. We're still hard at work on this system, and have taken the first steps in a direction to allow for more Constructions in a World, but have plans to improve and optimize it further with our next large update. We are actively monitoring your conversation surrounding the build system and beyond, and appreciate all your feedback!
With that said, let's get this Valhalloween party started.
Patch Notes
Valhalloween Update - QoL Changes:
Construction Limit Gauge
To help track the Build Limits within a given World, we’ve added a UI element in Survival that tracks the progress as more Constructions are placed, making it easier to recognize when you’re about to hit the cap.
Increased Build Limit
We worked hard to optimize the weight of large amounts of Constructions in a single World so that you can build the Viking home you always wanted!
We’re continuing to improve this system and monitor how it handles from a technical standpoint out in the wild, but in the meantime we’ve increased the Build Limits on all platforms as such:
Quintupled the Build Limit on PC
Doubled the Build Limit on all Nintendo Switch as well as all Xbox and PlayStation platforms
Storage Chest Sharing
Crafting Stations now have a visual radius when interacting or placing them. This radius indicates that the contents of any Storage Chest located within its bounds can be accessed for the purpose of crafting and does not need to be in the Player’s inventory. This should ease up Players’ ability to readily access Materials from any combination of Storage Chests when crafting from nearby stations.
Storage Chest Dismantling
We recognized that it was a little too easy to have your Storage Chests be dismantled while there was still precious cargo inside, losing it forever. To remedy this, we’ve made it so that you cannot dismantle a Storage Chest until all of its contents have been removed, triggering a warning if you try to do so.
Center on Shrine
When pressing the Seed of Yggdrasil shortcut on the Map, the cursor now centers on the Shrine instead of the Seed, something very useful to free up fast travel with a controller and a feature requested by the Community.
Shop Currency
Currency icons have been added to Shop categories to better inform players at a glance (E.G. Gameplay section has a Golden Horn icon)
Loading Screen Progress Bar
Loading screens now come equipped with a handy little loading bar to help communicate the progress

Valhalloween Update - Bug Fixes:
Optimized a number of performance issues caused by having a lot of Constructions active in a single World
In our efforts to better optimize mass Constructions, we fixed a number of issues in which people were loading into games and falling through the World
Fixed an issue in which Door Constructions' open/close animations would not always play
Fixed an issue with controller placement direction when rotating in Build Mode.
Fixed some instances of the ! icon staying indefinitely for new items even after you’ve viewed them.
Fixed an issue in which you could not place the Allforge once you’ve reached the Construction cap. You can now place the Allforge regardless of the cap.
Fixed an issue in which the Bow Firing animations would stagger if the player was moving forward while shooting.
Fixed a rare issue in which Players would return to the Sanctuary when emerging from an Underpass or Hideout
