The world is heating up and in the south something is stirring... The creatures of the Ashlands come to life as the biome update is here at last!

After three weeks in the Public Test Branch, we believe we have ironed out most of the wrinkles with the update already, but please keep in mind that hotfixes and such are still likely to happen within the near future! Feedback and bugs are best sent in via the support page on our website.

Before you dive into the game, please do take a look at our preparation guide. This guide touches important matters such as world generation and mods.

You will find the abbreviated patch notes further down, and the detailed patch notes (full of spoilers) below those. Please respect those who don't want to see spoilers before they play.

If you have missed out on our gameplay trailer, it's available on our YouTube channel, but right now we want to get your blood pumping with this animated release trailer!

Once more, please do remember to check out the preparation guide before you set sail towards the Ashlands, it contains important information!

NOTE! Unfortunately there are currently some issues with the Microsoft and Xbox versions of Valheim, which means there will be a slight delay in getting the update properly uploaded there. However, the current version on Xbox Flight is the same as the version coming to live, so crossplay will still be possible between Xbox Flight and Default Steam games.

This week we have been working on a new skin for Tik Tik. Which has been a tough one to do with her cape. As it covers her arms.

It really makes her look cute though with this little hood on her and a pair of shades! You can even swap out the hood for a more.....unique style.

But in the end with how we make her drive around the track this one was all on our coder Molegato! He came up with the idea of Ripper Roo from CTR using his feet. So just for you feet people.

She looks so adorable using her feet. I think you peeps will like this one. It is just another reason why we try to add that extra bit of unique flair and love to Shady Lewd Kart.

Another skin for the YOU tab is Farion's skin at long last. This robo dude is ready to hit the road with the latest update and is quite dapper with his unlock image too!

Also we have been working on some new pieces as well for the unlocking of a new event. If you can guess...we wont Dragooonn about it.

Also for you artists, Pix designed a pen car. Inked up and ready to go. Though I think this is a digital pen so excuse me for not getting it right XD

Also we started the voting for Shady Lewd Kart's next track in our discord. Well these were the final tracks to make the cut. So prepare peeps because Patreon's its up to you to control the voting this time around!

• Fixed an issue where the loading screen before a run was not showing.
  
• Some dungeons has been reduced their floor appearance to add more variety in first levels.
