Valheim 1.0: Release with the Deep North biome

Released: 9 Sept 2026 - Official source

Checked against the official notes on 29 Sept 2026

Everything below comes from the studio’s own patch notes for version 1.0 (see the official source link above). Counts are quoted as the notes give them (“40+”, “20+”), not measured.

New content listed in the abbreviated notes

• A new biome, Deep North.
• 40+ new weapons, new bombs and ammunition, 4 new armour sets, 2 new capes, 2 new trinkets and new tools.
• 10+ new creatures.
• 80+ new buildable pieces and 5 new crafting-related build pieces.
• 30+ new crafting materials.
• 20+ new food items.
• New locations, music, events and mechanics, upgradeable pockets and achievements.

What the notes do not say

The notes name the new food items but give no values (health, stamina, Eitr or duration) for them. For that reason the values in this site’s food buff calculator come from community wikis, not from the studio, and are labelled that way.

What to re-check on this site

• Food dataset in src/data/valheim/foods.ts: regenerate it with scripts/import-wiki-foods.mjs after a patch and review the diff; the calculator keeps its community-wiki label until an official source exists.
• Guides that depend on 1.0 behaviour: re-verify them, and only then raise their checkedAt.
