Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will get its final DLC, The Last Chapter, on December 6, but unfortunately it won’t get the “highly requested” New Game + feature.
Ubisoft shared the news a blog, and revealed that The Last Chapter will conclude “an incredible two years of launch support.” The Last Chapter will arrive alongside Title Update 1.6.2, and will serve as an “intimate and moving conclusion to Eivor’s saga” and “tie together some of the stories developed throughout the game and offer closure to your time between the Raven Clan.” .”
Those wishing to see the end of Eivor’s story will need to complete a few things, and the full list is as follows;
- Complete the main story by pledging all of England’s territories.
- Complete both Asgard and Jotunheim Mythic story arcs.
- Upgrade your settlement to level 5 and build the Jomsviking barracks
- Kill all the Order of the Ancients targets and discover their leader.
Ubisoft also confirmed that it will no longer hold limited-time festival events in Ravensthorpe. However, all rewards from previous festivals will be available from Merchants after completing The First Night of Samhain quest. There will also be new rewards like “thank you for your continued support.”
As for New Game+, which Ubisoft acknowledged as a “highly requested feature,” it will not be added to the game.
“Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has been created as a unique Assassin’s Creed experience, very different from its predecessors in its structure, offering new ways of engaging with the world and its characters,” Ubisoft wrote. “In researching the implementation of New Game+, we realized that the depth of the game gave us limited options to make replayability unique and rewarding.”
While New Game+ won’t be coming, there will be a few new additions before Ubisoft shifts its focus from Assassin’s Creed to future titles, including an option to keep your hood up at any time. There will also be a few more surprises, but Ubisoft reserves them for its “final farewell.”
As the sun sets in Valhalla another sun is rising for Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a new platform and hub for future Assassin’s Creed games. Ubisoft has revealed that the first two games that will be part of Infinity will include one that follows the life of a Shinobi in feudal Japan and another directed by Watch Dogs: Legion director Clint Hocking, which appears to have something to do with witchcraft. .
