Biomes

A biome is the classification given to the various regions of the world of Valheim. Each biome can be distinguished by its unique aesthetic, as well as the creatures and resources contained within. Additionally, each biome is the domain of one of the Forsaken.

Development

At Valheim's launch in February 2021, five of the planned nine biomes were made available to explore. The other four were accessible, but lacked any meaningful content.
