The mid-saga update has been released for Tribes of Midgard, bringing new content for players to enjoy. This will include the upcoming launch of Valhalloween from October 12 to November 1, introducing pumpkin cosmetics for bases, themed costume options, and new challenges to expand gameplay. Players will be able to battle spooky enemies and combine event content with improvements added during the mid-saga update, offering numerous new ways to explore and enjoy adventures as a powerful Viking Einherjar.
Tribes of Midgard is a Viking survival title with co-op gameplay and procedurally generated worlds. Taking on the role of an Einherjar, players must protect their home base from nightly attacks, scour the world for resources to craft with, and battle powerful enemies. Tribes of Midgard was released during July 2021 and will celebrate its first seasonal event with Valhalloween. Gameplay is designed for any skill level, and Norsefell has worked toward creating a survival experience that is welcoming to new players, making the upcoming event the perfect opportunity for those curious about the game to give it a try.
Valhalloween will kick off with a change to the main menu and music, improving the atmosphere during gameplay. Players will find their bases decorated with seasonal cosmetics like Jack-o-Lanterns, as well as Valhalloween-themed enemies. Two new Helthings will be introduced with to Tribes of Midgard base attacks, called Val Helthings, and goblins will now have pumpkins for heads, changing up the enemies players have battled since the game's release. There will also be three event-themed cosmetic sets for players to collect. These include:
- Headless Norseman - x5 pieces of cosmetic armor, x5 pieces of cosmetic equipment, and Little Stranger the pet.
- Linnorm Costume - x5 pieces of cosmetic armor, x5 pieces of cosmetic equipment.
- Werewolf - x5 pieces of cosmetic armor, x5 pieces of cosmetic equipment, and Fluffy Fang the pet.
Tribes Of Midgard Will Add Daily, Weekly, And Festive Challenges
Valhalloween is part of the mid-saga update for the Tribes of Midgard season one, "Wolf Saga". As part of the update, daily, weekly, and festive challenges are being added to give players new options for gameplay. The recurring Daily and Weekly Challenge types can be completed for continual rewards, such as Golden Horns and Season XP to help progress players through the Season Rewards track. Festive challenges will be specific to special events like Valhalloween, and offer themed items as rewards for completion. According to information provided to Screen Rant by Norsfell, there will be around 47 daily and weekly challenges for players to complete, hopefully encouraging more diverse gameplay with new objectives.
Norsfell's goal with the Tribes of Midgard mid-saga update and Valhalloween event is to introduce changes that will better balance gameplay while increasing variety. The update will include changes to Tribes of Midgard's classes, hopefully fixing inconsistencies in power and usefulness between each class option, as well as improvements to runes. Because death is an inevitable part of Tribes of Midgard, the update will also include the ability to customize death chests that spawn after characters are defeated, helping players tell death chests apart, and adding further ways to personalize each Einherjar.
