Update: Assassin's Creed Valhalla patch 1.010 is available to download now on PS5 and PS4. As Ubisoft said, it's around 2.5GB in size. You can find all of the update information below, in our original article.
However, one thing that isn't highlighted in the patch notes is that this update adds three new perks to the skill tree, increasing Eivor's maximum power level to 403.
The three skills in question are:
- Arrow Looter - Increased chance to loot arrows from archers
- Assassin Carry - Hold down the assassination button to automatically carry the body of your target
- Fight Ready - Always start combat with one Adrenaline slot filled
Original Story: Assassin's Creed Valhalla's second big update will launch tomorrow (that's the 15th December), Ubisoft has confirmed. Patch 1.1.0 adds support for the Yule Festival — the game's first wave of 'seasonal' content. The developer says that more information on the Yule Festival is coming soon.
What's more, the update fixes an absolute boatload of bugs and other glitchy issues. For starters, the trophies that you can have crafted from the parts of legendary animals will finally appear in your settlement's longhouse.
The update is around 2.5GB on PS5, and 2.4GB on PS4. Nice to know it's not a huge download.
