A Valheim player lovingly recreates Bilbo's hobbit hole from Lord of the Rings by using a clever portal trick to take players inside.

Valheim is a Viking-inspired survival game that allows players to craft to their heart's content while battling it out with various creatures littered throughout the stunningly beautiful open world. The crafting in-game is incredible and has inspired some amazing creations from Valheim players. We've previously shared how one player faithfully recreated Whiterun from Skyrim in-game (and Elder Scrolls as a franchise); now another is taking on the area of Dragonreach. 

Reddit user u/ItsReallyOnlyBryce took to the forums to share quite a few incredible screenshots of their recreation with the help of this Dragonreach build share mod right here (it's free). It's hard not to be a little impressed with the work, mod or not. The creator responded to their own thread saying that this fan-driven project has only recently finished, clocking in at 50 hours spent making this crossover a reality.

They also shared a video of the completed Dragonreach recreation in Valhein, which you can see below:

Valheim is still relatively new, and while the game does have its share of bugs, it's developed by a small team (which is wildly impressive) and updates continue to pour out to make it an even more enjoyable experience. We've seen some amazing takes from players in the Viking game, which is fun to see as someone who can barely craft a house that resembles an actual house. But I can make a mean campfire. So, uh, that's something. 

As the game continues to see improvements being made, seeing projects like this that take some time makes it easier to understand how much work goes into making a faithful recreation such as this and the previous Whiterun addition. Luckily, Valheim offers co-op support, which means you can invite your friends into a private server to help out with logging, material requisitions, and keeping you alive while you stave off those annoying goblins. 

You definitely don't have to do it alone if friends don't want to hop into a game; there are a ton of mods out there to help as well, for those looking for a little additional help. While many more have been added since our recommendation list was added, you can find a list of essential mods that we love right here

While the Mortal Kombat movie did see a small delay by just one week, the team behind the reboot is not slowing down when it comes to keeping that hype train moving. With a new release date set for April 23 for both a theatrical release and a launch on HBO Max, a new Mortal Kombat movie video has been revealed to show a closer look at what goes on behind the scenes. 

"The Mortal Kombat kast is a truly global and diverse group bringing your champions to life," reads the Twitter caption for the below mini-feature. While the video shows off a plethora of cast footage, it also shows off Nathan Jones as Reiko. From the looks of it, it looks like this film will flesh out Reiko's backstory even more, which is great when looking at his relatively small impact on the franchise when compared against other fighters.

Interested in learning more before the film arrives later this month? According to Warner Bros., here is the full synopsis of what to expect: 

In Mortal Kombat, MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high-stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family but to stop Outworld once and for all?

Between our first look at Kabal in all of his glory to the promise of a gruesome good time that our own Brian Shea detailed in his preview, the Mortal Kombat movie can't arrive soon enough. While we do have to wait just a little while longer with the week's delay, the good news is that it hasn't been pushed back by an entire year like other projects out there. 

We'll be able to see it in action for ourselves when Mortal Kombat arrives on April 23.
