Assassin’s Creed Valhalla roadmap revealed

Ubisoft has unveiled the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla content roadmap that is expected to roll out for the rest of the year.

At the top of the list is the new title update which will bring the game to 1.4.0. It will launch tomorrow, Tuesday, November 9, and will ship with a new free exploration feature called Tombs of the Fallen. According to Assassin’s Creed verified Twitter account, the update will also come with some “gameplay improvements”, new skills for Eivor, and the basics of the latest in-game festival: Oskoreia.

Below, we’ve explained everything we know about each piece going forward.

As noted on Ubisoft’s website, Tombs of the Fallen is a puzzle-based exploration feature that sends players deep “into vast, hidden underground caverns.” Each grave will be filled with “tales of mystery, history” and, of course, a treasure trove of loot to make the whole process worth it. Players will need to rely on their wits and Eivor’s parkour skills to escape traps, poison, and other deadly obstacles in their search for treasure.

“Scattered across England, these sprawling dungeons will be available from the moment you unlock your colony, with no other prerequisites other than your ability to track them all down,” the website read.

All four tombs will be available to explore once the title update begins. It is accompanied by two achievements: Speleologist and Cryptologist.

The Oskoreia festival ends the harvest season and begins Odin’s wild hunt in the sky. In AC: V, the spirits of the dead will arise specifically to raze the living, which Eivor will have to defend. It will take place from November 11 to December 2.

“In this limited-time free event, you’ll discover new activities and quests, as well as a special new stranger, all to reap a plethora of rewards,” the website says.

There will be three events for players: “Archery, Horseback Riding and a New Tournament Against the Spirits”. A seasonal quest will also be available for those who are brave enough to uncover the mystery of an Ancient Warrior.

Players wishing to participate in the festivities will need to have a rule of at least level two and have completed the story arcs in Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire.
