Iron Gate Studio has delighted Valheim fans with a fresh developer diary, shedding light on the much-anticipated next biome: the Far North. A standout feature of this update is the introduction of the biome's first creature—seals that are so irresistibly cute, they might make you think twice before hunting them.
In the icy expanses of The Deep North, players will come across seals that vary in appearance depending on their quality. Horned or spotted seals, for example, offer richer resources than their plain counterparts, prompting players to make strategic choices in their hunting endeavors.
What's particularly intriguing about this update is Iron Gate's unique approach to teasing its content. Rather than relying on conventional trailers, they've opted for narrative-driven videos that follow the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the Far North. These episodes cleverly weave in subtle clues about the new biome, showcasing snow-laden shores and mesmerizing auroras.
While an official release date for The Deep North remains under wraps, anticipation is high. This update is set to unveil the final biome in Valheim, marking a significant milestone that could see the game transition out of early access and into full release.
