Iron Gate Studio has delighted fans with a fresh installment of their developer diary, offering an exciting sneak peek into the next Valheim biome. The star of the show is the introduction of the Far North's first creature: seals that are irresistibly adorable, making them a challenging yet rewarding target for hunters.

In the icy expanses of the upcoming The Deep North update, players will come across seals that vary visually depending on their quality. For example, horned or spotted seals will provide more resources than their regular counterparts, prompting players to make strategic hunting choices to maximize their gains.

Iron Gate has taken a unique approach to unveiling this update. Instead of 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 hints about the new biome, showcasing snow-covered shores and mesmerizing auroras, adding to the anticipation and mystery.

While an official release date for The Deep North remains under wraps, this update is poised to introduce the final biome to Valheim. This could signify the game's much-anticipated transition out of early access, marking a significant milestone for both the developers and the community.
