Iron Gate Studio has just unveiled a new entry in their developer diary, giving fans an exciting preview of the next biome coming to Valheim: the Far North. The spotlight of this update is on the introduction of the region's first creature, seals, which are so adorable they might make you think twice before hunting them.
In the chilly expanses of the upcoming The Deep North update, players will come across seals that vary in appearance depending on their quality. For example, seals with horns or spots provide richer resources than their plain counterparts, prompting players to make strategic choices about which ones to hunt.
Iron Gate has taken a unique approach to teasing this update. 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 offer subtle clues about the new biome, showcasing snow-laden shores and mesmerizing auroras.
While an official release date for The Deep North has not been disclosed, this update is anticipated to be the final biome added to Valheim. This could mark the game's transition out of early access, bringing it closer to a full release.
