Biomes are regions in the world of Valheim that can be distinguished by their unique aesthetics, as well as the creatures and resources contained within. Additionally, each biome is the domain of one of the Forsaken.

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.
