If you're getting a little bored of the mountains and plains of Valheim, you can now change it up thanks to this free mod that lets you explore the realms of Azeroth.
The mod, called Valheim of Warcraft, won't change anything about the core gameplay but it does add the majority of World of Warcraft's zones to the game — includin Kalimdor, Quel'Thalas, the Eastern Kingdoms and more. The creator — who goes by the name Kromek on Nexus Mod — has said that the maps are not a 1:1 ratio, in fact they've been by around 20% to make them fit in Valheim. The cosmic realms like Argus and the Outlands haven't been included.
The map starts players off in a version of the Timeless Isle, and from there each zone has its own path and boss battles. You'll be able to use portals to get from one zone to another.
You won't find any cities or dungeons to explore just yet, but the creator plans to flesh the map out by adding “burial chambers, sunken crypts, and goblin villages”, but for now you can always try recreating places like Stormwind yourself.
