Ubisoft is about to release even more DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. The new AC Valhalla DLC launches as part of update 1.6.0 on August 2. Weighing between 12.5GB to 26GB, the new mode has a 1pm BST launch time for fans living in the UK. The headline feature of update 1.6.0 is the release of the brand new rogue-lite mode, titled Forgotten Saga. Best of all, it’s available completely free of charge.
According to Ubisoft, the Forgotten Saga game mode is accessible once players have reached Asgard in the main game.
“As with other rogue-lite experiences, Forgotten Saga pushes players to their limits with difficult enemies and a hostile world.
“Players progress through the world in a single run to try to conquer the depths of Niflheim, but death is natural part of the experience and will be a frequent part of your adventures.
“With each death, you will return to the start with opportunities to upgrade Odin and grow in strength for your next attempt with further insights on how to overcome the challenges ahead.”
Elsewhere, update 1.6.0 brings back the Sigrblot Festival, which is based in Ravensthorpe. That’s on top of a whole host of gameplay tweaks and changes, which can be seen in the patch notes below…
