Iron Gate Studio has unveiled an exciting new chapter in their developer diary, giving Valheim enthusiasts a sneak peek into the upcoming Far North biome. The standout feature is the introduction of the biome's first creature: seals, which are so endearing, players might find themselves hesitating before taking the shot.
In the icy expanses of The Deep North update, players will come across seals that vary in appearance depending on their quality. Horned or spotted seals, for example, offer greater resources than their standard counterparts, prompting players to make calculated hunting choices to maximize their gains.
Iron Gate has taken a creative approach to teasing 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, providing subtle clues about the new biome. Viewers can catch fleeting images of snow-laden shores and mesmerizing auroras, heightening anticipation for the update.
While an official release date for The Deep North remains under wraps, this update is poised to introduce the final biome to Valheim. Its arrival could mark the game's transition out of early access, a milestone eagerly awaited by the game's community.
