Assassin's Creed Valhalla gets big patch before DLC

Assassin's Creed Valhalla received the 1.5.0 update, with a large number of fixes, including one for a bug that made it impossible to complete the A Brewing Storm mission. In other words, represents a huge need at this point.

The patch also includes difficulty tweaks and stealth updates. The addition of the "Saga" difficulty will allow players to enjoy the game's story without worrying about the rigors of stealth or combat. Enemies will do less damage and will not scale according to your level. 

Now, NPCs in Assassin's Creed Valhalla will also react better to whistling, wild animals will no longer detect players, and there will also be a way to adjust the damage Eivor receives and applies to enemies - plus many other additions. The full notes are on the official website.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Dawn of Ragnarök

But more importantly, Assassin's Creed Valhalla patch 1.5.0 paves the way for Dawn of Ragnarök, the biggest DLC in the franchise's history. Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Dawn of Ragnarök DLC will place players in the role of Odin, who must venture into the mythical kingdom of Svartalfheim on a mission to rescue his son from prison.

In the DLC, players will face more than 30 hours of gameplay and have plenty of content to explore. The mission of the Allfather is to rescue his son Baldr, kidnapped by Surtr, an immortal fire giant. As Odin, we will wield his divine powers, absorbing abilities from our enemies' bodies we leave in our wake. There will be a player boost option for those who want to jump directly into the fray, which allows you to start the journey with a Power Level of 340 and a predefined set of equipment.

This DLC is pretty much a standalone game. So if you are interested in chunking more hours into Assassin's Creed Valhalla, do take a look at our game deals for Dawn of Ragnarök and pick up your copy, so you are ready to play at launch on March 10.
