New Companion, New Bosses, New Chaos

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.

• HUD & UX Refresh – clearer interface, better icons, indicating animations.

• FPS boost – cleaned shaders, lighter textures, optimized collisions.

• 12-language support – with a custom font (Huntress) for Cyrillic and Latin alphabets.
