Assassin's Creed Valhalla just keeps on rolling, doesn't it? Support for the game is approaching its conclusion, but it sounds like the Norse adventure is going out with a bang. Valhalla is getting a number of updates over the next few months, including new Tombs of the Fallen, which will wrap up that part of the narrative.
But what Ubisoft is calling Valhalla's "most ambitious" additional game mode launches this summer. 'The Forgotten Saga' has players once again take on the role of Odin, as they attempt to force their way into the realm of Niflheim. This new mode takes inspiration from the rogue-lite formula, revolving around combat as you fight against increasingly difficult foes, all while upgrading your arsenal.
And then after that, near the end of the year, the final chapter in Eivor's story will be released. Both The Forgotten Saga and this final chapter will be available to all players as free updates. Nice!

I’m suffering burnout from Valhalla. I don’t even think this free dlc will tempt me back.
Valhalla was such a downgrade from Origins and Odyssey.
Ahhh the game that made me never want to play another AC game. Free or not, that game is never being re-installed on my PS5
Big Valhalla fans up in this comments section.
The amount of free content this game has got is pretty insane.
I liked Valhalla, even after burning myself out on all the content. Need to go back and play the DLC.
Valhalla is the only AC game I've ever liked. I love Vikings, the Norse mythology and adored Eivor. I will continue to play the new content, the game is so beautiful to get lost in.
@PaperAlien Oooo, aren't you "edgy" and "cool."
Might try it when it’s on the new ps plus extra.
But do I really want another Ubi formula game with 100 hrs of playtime. Uff.
I remember being over 150+ hrs in and still not finished with the story. This game was too long. There was point where I forgot what Eivor was fighting for.
Valhalla burned me out within the first 20 - 30 hours. The game is nothing more than a glorified collectathon.
Alright ubi Valhalla wasn’t even that good and people are getting tired of you trotting out ***** for it free or not especially Odin content which was the worst and most boring part of the game. Instead of milking it dry I would have loved that smaller Basim focused game
Ubisoft really do a good job with the GaaS model but open world just burns you out.
I might play this DLC if it answers the question about how Eivor’s skeleton is found in North America. Otherwise, I’m DONE with this game. The law of diminishing returns definitely applies here. I 100%’ed Odyssey and all its DLC in about 120 hours, and I’m past that in Valhalla and I haven’t even touched the DLC. Ugh.
still playing at 165 hours and no were near finished but still enjoying it
@jmac1686 Not really no, just stating how I feel about a game, so bit of an odd remark from yourself, but hey, internet people are weird sometimes!
@jmac1686 he’s right though tbf. I feel the same way about playing more Valhalla as I feel about the idea of watching a 36 hour directors cut of Morbius. Please, no! No more! Make it stop! 🫣
Surprised Ubisoft hasn't released a rip-off of Fortnite yet as a Valhalla expansion. As they seem to be copying everything else into their games rather than innovating.
Holy sh#t, free? That's awesome! Really hyped about this!
Glad it's a free update, paid £35 for Ragnarok DLC and felt is was really poor value. Wasn't going to pay even more to see the finale.
Loved Valhalla. Not sure i can go back to it now, but i found it really enjoyable, albeit very bloated
I've enjoyed Valhalla the most out of the Assassins Creed games mainly due to the setting around vikings. I did get burnt out near the end of the main story(about 55 hours) Deleted it to make room on the PS5 after I beat it.
Undoubtedly the worst Assassin's Creed ever (and I thought nothing will be worse than 3 or Odyssey). After 60 hours I just gave up last year, than added 20 hours this year, but.... ... It is such boring game, that I'm forcing myself every minute... 5 minutes running, 10 seconds something, 2 minutes running, 15 seconds something, 5 minutes running... and again, and again, and again... I'm not even bothered with stealth, because it has no meaning anymore, no more epic parkour, no more memorable side quests... and that stupid fishing... facepalm
Well, this was disappointing. Pretty much all the free content in Valhalla was forgettable. They are forcing this Rogue-Lite bs once again in a game where it does not belong. It sucked in FC6, it will suck in Valhalla. Nobody is asking for this. Players want real story content for AC
I was really enjoying valhalla up until elden ring dropped...then the 60fps patch for origins which i was getting stuck into after my initial woes with the crashes (props to ShogunRok for helping me out there) and then the new bf2042 update which revitalised it for me in a massive way...oh valhalla i'll return to you soon i promise..
I still can't quite say why I don't like Valhalla as much as Odyssey...but I have this idea that combat is way more stiff in Valhalla, besides I don't really care for Viking aesthetics or setting, the only Norse game I love is God of War.
But they added a ton of content to this game, and for that they have my respect.
Well they did need to finish the story
The Odin spinoff aside, there are a number of loose threads and unanswered questions from the main game and its dlc
Only problem will be is that I haven’t played it in 12 months. I’ll have to relearn the controls…
Still no new game plus?
Anybody know how many hundred hours it would take to 100% the base game and all the DLC?
This in my huge backlog... which is growing, even if I never buy anything new!
there is still the rumored assassins creed rift game they've been talking about which is a spin off of Valhalla
Free updates are always welcome! I look forward to playing them when I finally catch up to Valhalla
(still playing AC Brotherhood, I have a long way to go)
Loki’n forward to it!.
@SwitchVogel I'm on 315 hrs and counting as going for completionist. Biggest grind is the fishing trophy and gaining the Swordfish. There's so many wealth, mysteries and artifacts to collect that I'm travelling all over the place lol
