Assassin's Creed Valhalla's latest roadmap has mysteries all the way into December

UPDATE 8/11/21: Today brings a clearer sense of what to expect in this week’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update 1.4.0, which will be made available to download tomorrow. It will weigh in at 25GB on Xbox Series X/S, 20GB on Xbox One and PC, 6.75GB on PS5 and 4.55GB on PS4.

This download will include the previously teased Tombs of the Fallen, which Ubisoft describes as “puzzle-focused tombs” that will indeed, as expected, focus on the game’s mysterious Odin runes.

The Oskoreia Festival, dubbed Odin’s Wild Hunt, will be available from 11th November to 2nd December. This adds horseback riding and a fighting tournament against spirits as mini-games, new and “spooky rewards”.

Finally, three new skills will be added. These include Perfect Parry, which deals additional damage if timed right, Master Counter Roll, which lets you use your Hidden Blade when counter rolling, and Improved Bow Stun Finisher, which now shoots arrows at all stunned enemies in view. For everything else coming to Valhalla in 2020, see below.

ORIGINAL STORY 5/11/21: Ubisoft has shared a “sneak peek” of its latest Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla development roadmap, confirming dates for a number of still largely mysterious additions due before the end of year, the first arriving next Tuesday, 9th November.
