Seoul, South Korea, July 28, 2025 – Kakao Games and Lionheart Studio have announced their plans for the next wave of post-launch updates for their hit Norse-inspired MMORPG, Odin: Valhalla Rising. Following its successful Spring 2025 launch on PC and mobile, reaching over 4 million downloads, the highly anticipated update is set to introduce intense guild-versus-guild combat, a challenging cross-server dungeon, and a brand-new fiery realm to explore, along with over $200 worth of rewards.
The roadmap, first revealed to Odin fans at a special event at the W Bangkok Hotel in Thailand over the weekend and livestreamed on the official channel, introduces three major upcoming updates to the game in the form of chapters. According to the 100-day video revealed at the event, many players from all over the world, including over 2 million Chinese-speaking players, are enjoying the game. The official player statistics by language are:
-

Chapter 1: Domain Conquest
The newly introduced Domain Conquest system allows guilds to occupy bases in each world through battles and obtain buffs that apply to all guild members. Successful conquerors will see their domain protected for 8 hours, preventing further targeting. Guilds that conquer a domain can earn Occupation points by defeating monsters, which can then be used to activate and enhance powerful Occupation buffs.
Chapter 2: World Dungeon
The World Dungeon is the first cross-server competition in Odin where guilds from the same server group compete against each other. Up to 6 guilds can participate from each server, and the guild that wins the final battle will be given a mythic-grade mount and a legendary- grade limited-time item.
In addition, the winning server will receive additional server-wide buffs, such as increased damage and gold acquisition, to commemorate the victory.
Chapter 3: Muspelheim
Muspelheim is inspired by the Norse mythological land of fire, transporting players to blazing lava fields and charred ashlands. The Muspelheim update brings new main and sub quests, along with a challenging new party dungeon, 'Abyss of Splendor'. The legendary mythical fire giant, Surtr, will appear as the Absolute boss.
This wave of post-launch content sets the stage for even more exciting additions to Odin: Valhalla Rising, which has already seen multiple updates since its launch in May with an elite Guild Dungeon and a summer-themed update. Following these chapters, players can look forward to trying out the new Shieldmaiden class, as well as enjoying a variety of seasonal events for Halloween, Christmas, and beyond.
Director Kim Nam-ho from Lionheart Studios said, “We hope for your continued interest and excitement. As always, we will do our utmost to repay the love and support our community has shown us. Thank you!”
