Valheim Unveils First Creature in New Biome

Iron Gate Studio has unveiled the latest chapter of their developer diary, giving fans an exciting peek into the next Valheim biome: The Deep North. A standout feature of this update is the introduction of the Far North's first creature—seals that are so adorable, players might find themselves hesitating before taking aim.

Within the icy realms of The Deep North, players will come across seals that vary in appearance based on their quality. For example, seals with horns or spots provide more valuable resources than their regular counterparts, prompting players to make thoughtful hunting choices to maximize their gains.

Iron Gate has taken a unique route to tease this update, opting for narrative-driven videos over conventional trailers. These videos follow the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the Far North, with each episode subtly hinting at what's to come. Viewers can catch glimpses of snow-covered shores and mesmerizing auroras, building anticipation for the new biome.

While no specific release date for The Deep North has been set, this update is anticipated to be the final biome added to Valheim. This could mark the game's transition out of early access, a significant milestone for both the developers and the community eagerly awaiting the completion of Valheim's world.
