Valheim has many diverse elements that mesh together to form the current meta, although hardly any have the pronounced impact of the sandbox giant's biomes. Iron Gate Studio's level of attention to detail in each region's climate has proven to be one of the driving factors behind the IP's notable successes since it launched in early access in 2021. However, the current meta is still far from the finished article - a point underscored by the upcoming Ashlands update that seems set to redefine what players can expect from the fiery landscape. After the completion of the flame-inspired area, it's reasonable to expect the other unfinished biomes like Deep North to get a rework.
