Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s first major expansion dated as Season 2 launches

Ubisoft will launch Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s first major expansion, Wrath of the Druids, on April 29, 2021.

Players will explore Gaelic myths and folklores as they venture through haunted forests and other new locations in search of members of the cult.

It will include the following Easter-themed activities:

• Settlement decoration activity

Major Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update detailed ahead of Season 2 launch

Patch adds transmog, new skills and a close camera option before Season 2 arrives this week

Each Assassin’s Creed Valhalla season will last for three months and include in-game events, new settlement buildings and games modes.

Players must reach England and complete one of the first narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire) to experience the Ostara festival.

Ubisoft said a new game mode building on the game’s core combat mechanics will be added later in the season when “a Master arrives at the settlement, inspiring Eivor to train and perfect challenges to become a Master.”
