I don't care if it's a valheim thing or not. Whoever animated this needs to make something longform because damn did that look sick. Gave me Heavy Metal vibes but smooth as silk.

ai?

[@chstens]

The animation studio is called Brikk. Literally says it in the first ten seconds of the video.

[@kevinv5861]

Totally, this needs to be a real show. Like Castlevania

[@MrRafagigapr]

Yes spend more time on meaningless cinematics while the game barelly gets updates just like WOW

[@chstens]

@@MrRafagigapr Again, the animation studio is Brikk, Irongate spent literally no time what so ever on making this trailer. Coffee Stain, the publisher, spent some marketing money to pay someone else to do it. Do you not understand how publishers and marketing works?

I run a mage set for my group and I pop off with protection and ice magic all the time to save the homies. This animation validates me.

That small trailer was better than most of the cartoons and animated series released in the last fifteen years. Can we please make this into an animated series?

[@c1oudsky]

cause series would cost way more than two minutes

I got shivers when the mage appeared. Fuck it, I'm gonna watch it again.

Yes! That is how you make a trailer.

[@Isaglish]

Damn, this gave me goosebumps! Definitely deserves an animation series of some sort, this is sick! I'm still early-plains in terms of progress but I can't wait to defeat the Queen and enter these lands!

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

I've been waiting right outside the Queen's boss room for a long time now with a friend. All my fault. I've died on almost every boss in the game so far, and my friend hasn't, so I usually don't get to fully experience the fight. I don't want that happening with the (current) final boss, so I've had us wait to make sure I'm as strong as I can be.

[@Volgalist]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem I have 8 people in my server, we basically role-play as Vikings and such. I am the pioneer that built and repair homes, equipments and ship, cooking foods while also researching new stuffs for the group. I was never a good PVP or PVE player, but I always carry tons of stuff for the team (even built a defence line for Swamp and Mountain boss). Keep up friend, even you are not good at fighting you are still important for your group.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

@Volgalist We beat the Queen a couple days ago. I did die a couple times, but my friend not only died to a boss for the first time, but died more than me. I had to kite the boss and her friends around while pelting them with fireballs to not die as much and make sure the boss health didn't reset. It was fun.

[@Volgalist]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem Aeyyyy! That's mean you improved, congrats. This game is indeed fun.

[@ruzdaniellegarcia4774]

That was an intense trailer! Amazing work Brikk! Nice to see the eitr user from the Hearth & Home trailer!

[@ChickenKing420]

I only experience such a goosebump once... seeing Grommash Hellscream leaping thru a wall of flames to demolish Mannoroth in the WoW Warlords of Dreanor Cinematic. Whoever worked on this Ashlands Trailer just elevated Valheim for me to the next level. Thank you for that!

[@Kagrynac]

Aww man, that moment hit me the same. That WoD theme "Times Change" really brought it all together.

[@simple2052]

It would be expensive to animate a whole show like this but damn does it make me want to watch one. These update animations are always a treat to watch.

[@PaoloBosi]

The guy dragging the cr¡art full of loot while the others fight is at the same time hilarious and so real.

He isnt dragging a cart. Its a ram to open the gates of the fortress. There are 2 new siege engines available in the ashlands being as you saw in the vid the battering ram and a catapult

[@mindaugasstankus5943]

hope not, likely will cost ten or more times but somehow (not a secret how, money go to useless celebrities, top brass, shareholders or some other BS) will make it worst in every way possible...

[@simple2052]

@@mindaugasstankus5943 Very pessimistic of you to assume that. I hope they do make a good animated show.

[@bsoulstone6024]

The real challenge in making Valheim series adaptation is finding a director who able to properly pull it off but that's not it all. It's imperative said director more than enough in familiarizing themselves in everything pertaining Valheim (plot, lore, etc.) and importantly, guided by both Iron Gate Studio and Coffee Stain Studios. I said this because recent filmmakers and showrunners managed to make proper movie adaptations of video games right thanks to their original creators' guidance.

[@lufzago]

isso seria perfeito

[@mindaugasstankus5943]

@@simple2052 Liked it too... if it only was BS assumptions/cynic in me... but, entertainment industry always (not) "surprises". Hopes they stick to the game (Valheim in this case), get proper finish, polish, optimization and maybe expansion upon it.

God, please no Netflix, or it'll be forced into woke garbage. First male viking would be a black guy and then the woman would end up being trans with 1 arm. Other male viking would remain as he is but with a weak cuckold personality. Amazon Prime would be a better alternative.
