As announced at the end of September, Valkyrie Elysium has been updated on PS5, PS4 with new modes, Trophies, and an extra difficulty level. The patch is now live on both systems and weighs in at just under 1GB. Hilde's Vengeance is the biggest addition the update makes, which is a new mode where Hilde is the playable character.
Furthermore, the patch brings the classic Seraphic Gate dungeon to Valkyrie Elysium, which has appeared in all the Valkyrie titles. Then there are the Hard and Valkyrie difficulty modes should you wish to play through the RPG again with an extra bit of challenge. For your troubles, you'll earn bronze Trophies should you beat the Seraphic Gate, Hilde's Vengeance, and finish the game on Valkyrie difficulty. The patch itself also improves performance and adds stability measures alongside bug fixes and game-crashing glitches.
In our Valkyrie Elysium PS5 review, we had a lot of praise for the action RPG's combat system. With more ways to engage with it thanks to today's patch, the game may well be worth revisiting if you can fit it around God of War Ragnarok.

Was hoping for a new game plus for that final hard mode run for the plat. no deal breaker. would have been nice.
Plus they could have worked new game plus into one of the endings well. (I don't want to give spoilers so I won't)
I just got the plat over the weekend.
I'm not sure if I want to go back to it for a few weeks.
That dungeon sounds interesting though 🤔
@KaijuKaiser There's one sub mission that you can get 1000+ weapon efficiency on. It takes about 15 minutes to do. I can't remember the name now.
It still takes a long while to grind them all and almost killed the game for me.
Nice! I’m about halfway through and have really been enjoying it. I love how rewarding it is to poke around all the nooks and crannies in this game. There are a lot treasure chests per square foot.
@Mitsui Thanks!
It was very much a chore.
In the end I could only do it in 15 minutes sessions, then stop and play something else.
I was falling asleep playing it by the last few sessions.
I am very close to beating the game, so extra content is nice to finish up the game.
@KaijuKaiser I wish! I was wondering the same thing as well. Literally one entire playthrough and I have one weapon at SS, a bunch of A’s and a C and D (there’s even still a weapon I’m missing somehow)
I have an online friend who's still playing this game on and off, was happy when I told him the news.
As for myself, still waiting until the game can be found for $20 New or cheaper...
