Valheim Unveils First Creature in New Biome

Iron Gate Studio has unveiled an exciting new chapter in their developer diary, giving eager Valheim players an early look at the upcoming biome: The Deep North. A key highlight is the introduction of the Far North's first creature: seals that are irresistibly adorable yet part of the game's ecosystem.

In the chilly expanses of The Deep North, players will encounter seals that come in various forms, distinguished by their visual traits. Horned or spotted seals, for example, offer more resources than their regular counterparts, prompting players to make strategic hunting choices to maximize their gains.

Iron Gate has taken a creative approach to teasing this update. Rather than relying on conventional trailers, they've opted for narrative-driven videos that chronicle the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the Far North. These episodes cleverly weave in subtle hints about the new biome, showcasing snow-covered shores and mesmerizing auroras.

While no specific release date has been set for The Deep North, anticipation is high. This update is poised to unveil the final biome in Valheim, marking a significant milestone that could see the game transition out of its early access phase.
