Additional free content for Assassin's Creed Valhalla has arrived. Thank goodness because I've had an unquenchable thirst for pillaging. The latest update introduces a new game mode, Jomsviking upgrades, new abilities and rewards, and two new unlockable buildings in the Settlement – the River Raid Dock and the Jomsviking Hall.

The River Raids is a permanent and replayable addition to the game, containing:

  • Higher-stakes raids with unique maps and rewards, in which raids don't impact main game progression and alliances in England. Unlike the original raiding feature, the raiding crew can be temporarily lost if players don’t revive them during the raid.
  • A raiding crew composed of recruited Jomsvikings (created by other players online), which are led by our personal Jomsviking Lieutenant. 
  • An all-new fully customizable longship that's exclusive to the game mode – whose cargo hold can be upgraded to bring more resources back from River Raids.

The new Jomsviking Hall has three levels to upgrade in Season 1. Jomsviking also now have ranks; higher-ranked Jomsvikings have greater survivability in River Raids.

Finally, the update brings additional abilities and rewards:

  • The Saint George Armor set and Great Sword
  • 3 new Abilities, hidden in monasteries
  • 2 new Settlement Buildings
  • A new set of longship and player cosmetics

If you want even more content, don't fret. Season 2, which is named Ostara, launches in March 2021.
