Valheim Developers Reveal First Creature of Upcoming Biome

Iron Gate Studio's latest developer diary unveils a charming yet challenging addition to Valheim's upcoming "The Deep North" update: seals! These adorable creatures, inhabiting the frosty landscapes of the new biome, offer players a unique hunting experience.

The Deep North's seals boast varying appearances, directly impacting their resource yield. Horned or spotted seals provide richer rewards than their standard counterparts, adding a layer of strategic depth to the hunt.

Intriguingly, Iron Gate's marketing strategy for this update deviates from the norm. Instead of relying on traditional trailers, they've opted for a captivating narrative approach. Players follow Hervor Blood Tooth's expedition into the Far North through episodic videos, each offering subtle clues about the new biome—think glimpses of snow-dusted coastlines and breathtaking auroras.

While a concrete release date for The Deep North remains unannounced, this final biome's arrival is anticipated to mark a significant milestone for Valheim, potentially signifying its transition out of early access.
