Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s ‘Tombs of the Fallen’ DLC confirmed following leak

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set to receive a new, free update named Tombs of the Fallen next week.

As part of the game’s roadmap for 2021, the publisher revealed four pieces of content coming to the game before the end of the year.

The first is Title Update 1.4.0, which releases the same day as Tombs of the Fallen on November 9.

The Oskoreia Festival, which is being described as a “Free Time-Limited Event” will run between November 11 and December 2. The final piece of content is Title Update 1.4.1, which will release in December.

Tombs of the Fallen was first revealed inadvertently by PlayStation trophies that were discovered by Access The Animus.

Players must complete one Tomb of the Fallen to earn the ‘Spelunker’ trophy and complete three to earn the ‘Crypt-ologist’ one.

Publisher Ubisoft said last week that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had built on a strong commercial start to become the “second largest profit generating game” in the company’s history.

It recently revealed that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set to receive a second year of expansions—a first for the series—and confirmed that a new project codenamed Assassin’s Creed Infinity is in the works.

Ubisoft said the game’s Siege of Paris expansion, which launched in August, “delivered record engagement”, and that it plans to deliver “great new content for year two of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, notably in the second half of the current fiscal year” ending on March 31, 2022.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s next major expansion could be titled ‘Dawn of Ragnarök’, according to a recent datamine. If accurate, the expansion will be set in the dwarven realm of Svartalfheim and introduce a range of new abilities and weapons for protagonist Eivor.
