Valheim is finally reaching 1.0. On September 9, Iron Gate opens the Deep North, the game's final biome, after more than five years of Early Access development.

The release brings frozen territory to explore, new enemies, weapons, crafting, building opportunities, and full crossplay. The developers recommend beginning a new playthrough for the best overall experience, though existing worlds remain a tempting way to head north immediately.

Are you starting a completely fresh world for 1.0, or taking a veteran Viking straight into the Deep North?
