The viking-themed survival game Valheim debuted its first trailer at the PC Gaming Show on Saturday.

The trailer shows players exploring vast, procedurally generated worlds to gather resources and build up their own home bases. They can also construct weapons and armor with which to hunt and fend off the game's animals and monsters, and ships to sail across the water.

Players will have to balance their ambitions against a food and health system, but they'll be able to team up on dedicated servers to help one another out.

Players can sign up for Valheim's closed beta here. Developer Iron Gate AB has yet to announced a release date. The game's Steam page lists is planned release date as "when Odin is pleased."
