Iron Gate Studio has unveiled a new chapter in their developer diary series, giving players a sneak peek into the forthcoming Valheim biome known as The Deep North. A standout feature of this update is the introduction of seals, which are not only integral to the region but also incredibly endearing, making the act of hunting them somewhat bittersweet.
Set against the backdrop of The Deep North’s icy terrain, these seals vary in appearance depending on their rarity. Seals adorned with horns or spots provide richer resources upon being hunted, prompting players to consider their choices carefully when venturing into the frosty landscapes.
Interestingly, Iron Gate opted for a creative approach to tease this update, steering clear of conventional trailers. Instead, they shared details via narrative-focused videos chronicling the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the Far North. Each episode subtly foreshadows elements of the upcoming biome, showcasing picturesque scenes such as snow-laden shores and mesmerizing auroras.
While an official release date for The Deep North remains undisclosed, this update is anticipated to bring the final biome to Valheim, possibly marking the game's transition out of early access.
