Assassin's Creed Valhalla's newest update is available to download now on PlayStation consoles. Patch 1.3.2 is around 8.5GB on PS5 and around 11GB on PS4. The main thrust of this one is to prepare the open world game for the upcoming Discovery Tour: Viking Age, which is set to arrive on the 19th October (and it's free for all existing players). Outside of that, we're looking at a bunch of general game improvements, which is always appreciated.
No real headline acts in this latest update, then, but Ubisoft has promised at least one more major patch this Autumn / Fall, before the in-game Oskoreia Festival begins.

I Do love these Discovery Tours.
Great,.. big fan of the tours.
Sweet. I will take more improvements. Playing at the moment and really enjoying the base game on PS5. Actually just picked up the art book as the environments are really nice
Got this as a gift last week. I can't believe how visually buggy this is on PS5, despite having been out a year now. Trees and bushes are constantly popping in and out of view which is crap.
That aside I'm enjoying the game. I can only imagine what this must've looked like unpatched a year ago
@Number09
Visage - Fade to Grey
F*cking cool.
*Tips hat
I played the hell out of it when it came out but drifted away from it over time for some reason. Same happened with Odyssey. The discovery mode will bring me back in.
@Rob_230 If you like Art Books - The Last Guardian one is fantastic. One of the nicest I have in my collection.

The text on the cover is actually a separate velum jacket. You can remove and just have the art free of typography
@Agramonte That's a lush art book. I love the fact that there is a bit of text inside too, as i love getting insights into the work that went into developing the game. Some books, like the one i have for Persona 5 are a little bare bones in that regard
I have a few - my favourite is probably the cook and becker Sonic the Hedgehog book

The Ghost of Tsushima book is a bit disapointing- the design is awesome and very authentic - but the paper they have used dilutes the quality and washes out the images which is a real shame!
The book for Spider-man is ace because it contains loads of info on the game
@Rob_230 Yeah, I see games as a showcase for Digital Artist,.. I need to know the production side. So much talent goes into them.
Oh wow, love that cover. Thanks.
Unless I overlooked it, did the devs ever patch the issue preventing new save files? I believe it had something to do.with the Siege of Paris DLC. I had it happen to me but was fortunately able to revert to a cloud save and I just stopped playing all the DLC waiting for an update.
@Atreus97 Yeah, you'd think being a AAA game from a big developer, that it wouldn't be so buggy still after almost a full year.
