Final Assassin's Creed Valhalla update drops early, available today

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has seen a ton of content updates over its two-year cycle and the final one is here. Despite being announced for December 6, 2022, Ubisoft has dropped the patch early, allowing all to experience Eivor’s final chapter early. While the update isn’t particularly sizeable, it does add a bit of an epilogue to the tale. Festival rewards that were earlier locked away if players missed them, are now available at Merchant Stores.

Here’s everything new in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Last Chapter.

The Last Chapter
Eivor’s alliances are forged and her clan has its foothold in England, now the time has come to come to terms with her visions of Odin. Join Eivor in her final journey as she meets with old friends and foes in the narrative conclusion to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Hood always on
Access the options and toggle your hood to be always on. Now regardless of whether you’re in the middle of battle or sneaking through a hostile village, you’ll have the iconic Assassin style! This option is cosmetic only and does not impact stealth or detection.

Weekly free item
Claim a free premium item from the Animus store every week! Launch into the game and head to the Animus store to receive a randomized premium item. Most items sold in the Animus store will be available, with the only exceptions being items that are licensed content. The offer will reset every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, and you will need to load a save file to redeem it.

Festival rewards in merchant stores
For those of you who didn’t get the chance to participate in all four Festivals, the rewards will be available from all Merchants across England after the completion of “The First Night of Samhaim” (Glowecestrescire arc). This will give you the opportunity to acquire the rewards that you might’ve missed by exchanging them for Silver coins you’ve collected during your journey. We will also be adding new content as a thank you for your continued support; specifically, new mounts and a raven.

An update on Stadia

Following the recent announcement that Stadia is closing down, Title Update 1.6.2 will be the last one to be deployed on that platform. Stadia players will be able to continue their experience in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla up until January 18 before the service becomes unavailable. We are working on bringing the games you own on Stadia to PC through Ubisoft Connect. Stay tuned for details on timing.

In the meantime, thanks to Ubisoft Connect’s cross-platform progression feature, players who already own Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on consoles or PC can directly pick-up their story where they left it off on Stadia.

These are all the major additions in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s final update. For a complete list of bug fixes and improvements, readers can check Ubisoft’s official blog post here. The update is currently available to download across all platforms.
