๐ Valheim expands into the world of comics with the participation of major storytellers from Marvel and DC
The survival and adventure game Valheim is preparing to extend its influence beyond the boundaries of gaming platforms. The game’s developers, Iron Gate Studio, have announced an exclusive collaboration with the publishing houses GUNGNIR Books and MOOD Publishing to launch a new Comic Series based on the world of Valheim, with the first releases set to arrive in the first quarter of 2027.
This move offers a unique opportunity to present original stories within the legendary Danish setting for which the game is known, rather than merely retelling the events of the game itself. The stories will be written by a team that includes prominent names from the comic, television, and animation industries, promising high narrative quality and new creative levels in the world of Valheim.

The project is supported by an outstanding writing team that includes pioneers from the comic and television scene, among them:
- Steve Orlando, known for works such as Wonder Woman and Avengers.
- Derek A. Hughes and Ben Rob, participants in Quantum Leap.
- J. Holtham, who wrote for series such as The Handmaid’s Tale and Supergirl.
- Bria Grant and Tim Sheridan, known in the fields of film and animation.
- Olan Rogers from Final Space.
They are joined on the artistic side by a group of professional illustrators, led by Scott Oakley and Vanessa Del Rey, in addition to another group of artists who will join later, under an production coordination overseen by Mohamed Samah. All of this confirms the ambition to deliver high-quality designs that match the game’s rich fantasy setting.
The world of Valheim transforms into inspiring visual storytelling
๐ What will the graphic series bring to fans of the game?
The new stories focus on the Mysterious Tenth Realm within the legends of Valheim, a mythical addition that expands the game’s framework and delves into unexplored areas of its world.
The content will focus on:
- Exploring the mythical aspects of the gods and creatures.
- New adventures within dangerous environments.
