Iron Gate Studio has unveiled a charming new addition to the upcoming Valheim Deep North update: seals! This latest developer diary introduces the Far North's first creature, a surprisingly adorable (yet huntable) seal.
Players venturing into the frosty landscapes of The Deep North will encounter seals with varying appearances and resource yields. Horned or spotted seals, for example, offer richer rewards than their standard counterparts, adding a layer of strategic depth to the hunting experience.
Intriguingly, Iron Gate is unveiling The Deep North through a unique storytelling approach. Instead of relying on traditional trailers, they've opted for a series of narrative-driven videos following the adventures of Hervor Blood Tooth as she explores the Far North. These episodic glimpses subtly reveal details of the new biome, showcasing snow-covered shores and breathtaking auroras.
While an official release date for The Deep North remains unannounced, this update is anticipated to introduce the final biome to Valheim, potentially marking the game's transition out of early access.
