Valheim Developers Reveal First Creature of Upcoming Biome

Iron Gate Studio's latest developer diary unveils the adorable, yet huntable, seals inhabiting Valheim's upcoming Far North biome. This new installment of the Deep North update introduces these creatures, with variations in appearance and resource yield impacting gameplay strategy. Horned or spotted seals, for example, offer richer rewards than their standard counterparts.

Interestingly, Iron Gate has opted for a unique reveal strategy, eschewing traditional trailers in favor of episodic videos chronicling Hervor Blood Tooth's exploration of the Far North. These narrative-driven segments subtly showcase the new biome's features, including stunning snow-covered coastlines and breathtaking auroras.

While a concrete release date remains unannounced, The Deep North update is anticipated to be Valheim's final biome addition, potentially marking the game's transition out of early access.
