June 26, 2025 - The next update for Kakao Games’ popular Norse-inspired MMORPG Odin: Valhalla Rising, which has surpassed 20 million combined downloads since its release in Korea in 2021 and worldwide earlier this year, is now available in-game! Odin: Valhalla Rising leaves the winter behind and brings the heat with a summer update featuring a brand new elite dungeon, an island event dungeon, and vacation-ready outfits for each character.

The Shadow Fortress elite dungeon awaits in this update. Designed for intense, cooperative gameplay, it will push even the strongest guild to its limits to conquer the final boss and get a chance to obtain up to legendary-grade items. Materials required for the new progression content, the “Imprint” system, can also be acquired here on the path to even greater power.
Making things more challenging is the fact that the Shadow Fortress is a player kill-enabled zone. Unlike other areas, players can eliminate each other without receiving any penalties. Despite being designed for guilds, the difficulty is raised in the darkness with no names displayed on screen to determine friend from foe.
A refreshing, summer resort-themed event dungeon, Summer Island, is now open for four weeks. Defeating monsters will grant a number of event items, including the Summer Party Scroll, which can be exchanged for the Summer Party Skin Ticket. Each character has four summer-style outfits, which are available for a limited time from June 26 to July 30. A login reward event is also underway as part of this update. By participating, players can earn up to 77 summon tickets and a variety of items.
