The new Valheim Ashlands update adds a multitude of new enemies to the survival game, all of which vary in difficulty. Valheim has been one of the more popular survival games since its release, partially due to its addictive gameplay. The Viking game also made several systematic changes to the genre that removed much of the usual tedious grind. Ashlands will be the second large update for the game, the first being Mistlands in late 2022.
