The popular MMORPG “Odin: Valhalla Rising” has launched a major summer update as of June 26, 2025, introducing a wealth of new features and content to enhance player experience.
Since its initial release in South Korea in 2021, “Odin: Valhalla Rising” has expanded globally, surpassing 20 million downloads worldwide and maintaining strong player engagement.
This summer update includes a brand-new elite dungeon called “Shadow Castle,” a limited-time seasonal event island, and exclusive summer-themed costumes for various characters, catering to both combat challenges and customization desires.
The newly opened elite dungeon “Shadow Castle” focuses on team cooperation and high difficulty. Players will face powerful boss monsters with the chance to obtain legendary-grade items. Additionally, this dungeon drops materials required for the new growth system called “Imprint.”
The area is a free PK zone where player-versus-player combat is unrestricted. Character names are hidden, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe, which adds strategic depth and tension to guild battles.
Moreover, the summer-themed event dungeon “Summer Island” will be available for four weeks. Players can collect various event items by defeating monsters, including the “Summer Party Scroll,” which can be exchanged for a “Summer Party Skin Voucher.”
Each character will have four summer-style costumes available for use from June 26 to July 30. Concurrently, a login event will reward participating players with up to 77 summoning tickets and other valuable items.
