Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is right around the corner and Ubisoft has revealed its post-launch plans for the game. The post-launch plans for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla include a Season Pass with two major expansions of narratively driven gameplay and an exclusive quest. Along with the paid Season Pass, all Assassin’s Creed players will have access to tons of free content in the game such as free seasonal content including in-game events and festivals.
The free content will also include new settlement buildings, services, and game modes. A free educational tool called Discovery Tour will also release for the game in 2021 which will allow the players to explore the world of the game in a conflict-free environment. The major highlight of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla post-launch content however remains its Season pass with its two major expansions.
Once it is available, the expansions will be released early from within the main game that will provide a rich, meaningful story to players that will further add to the lore of the game’s open world. The free content will arrive in the form of Seasons where each Season will last for three months and the very first season will arrive in December 2020 giving players plenty of time to complete the base game before jumping in the post-launch content. The Season Pass will set you back $39.99 and will include the following:
- The Legend of Beowulf quest: In this exclusive quest, players will uncover the monstrous truth behind the legend of Beowulf, available on the launch day of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
- Expansion 1 – Wrath of the Druids (Spring 2021): In this new adventure, players will journey to Ireland and unravel the mysteries of an ancient and mysterious druidic cult, tracking and discovering their members. Diving into Gaelic myths and folklores, they’ll need to fight their way through haunted forests and dazzling landscapes while gaining influence among Gaelic kings.
- Expansion 2 – The Siege of Paris (Summer 2021): In The Siege of Paris, players will have the chance to relive the most ambitious battle in Viking History with key historical figures of war-torn Frankia. During this key moment in history, players will infiltrate the fortified city of Paris and the River Seine under a prolonged siege, uncover enemy secrets, and form strategic alliances to safeguard their clan’s future.
Along with the paid content, the very first season, slated to arrive in December 2020 will include new game events and much more. It will last for three months and will include the following content:
- A new settlement area, allowing players to continue to grow and evolve their settlement.
- A traditional Viking Festival: the Yule Festival, for players to experience in their settlement.
- A new game mode: the River Raids. Building on Valhalla’s core raiding mechanic the mode will deliver a dynamic, challenging, and highly replayable raid experience.
- The addition of the Ranks for Jomsviking: in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players can not only create their lieutenant to be part of their raiding crew but also recruit some from their friends and the community. In Season 1, players will see an update to the Jomsviking feature which will allow their Jomsviking to earn XP and rank up – the higher will be the rank of the lieutenant, the more silver players will earn when recruited by other players.
- Finally, as for each season, Season 1 will also come with new player skills and abilities, weapons and gear, and cosmetic items for the settlement, longship, horse, and raven.
After the first season ends, Season 2 will start in March 2021 and will include a new game mode building on Valhalla’s core combat experiences, a new Jomsviking update, festivals in the Settlement, new gear and cosmetic items, and more. Additional details about Season 3 and 4 will be shared at a later time.
