Iron Gate Studio's latest developer diary unveils a charming addition to Valheim's upcoming "The Deep North" update: adorable seals! These aren't your average aquatic mammals, however. The Far North's newest inhabitants boast varying appearances, with horned and spotted seals offering richer rewards than their common counterparts, adding a layer of strategic depth to hunting.
The Deep North's icy landscapes will be the backdrop for these encounters. Interestingly, Iron Gate is showcasing this update through a unique storytelling method. Instead of relying on traditional trailers, they've crafted a series of narrative-driven videos following the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the new biome. These episodic glimpses subtly reveal elements of the Far North, including stunning snow-covered coastlines and breathtaking auroras.
While a concrete release date remains unannounced, The Deep North is anticipated to be the final biome added to Valheim, potentially marking the game's anticipated exit from early access.
