Assassin’s Creed Valhalla post-launch support has been pretty good. The developer, Ubisoft, just released a major update today that adds quite a lot of content.

- Xbox Series X|S: 23.79 GB
- Xbox One: 17.72 GB
- PlayStation 5: 6.85 GB
- PlayStation 4: 15.3 to 24.5 GB (depending on region)

A new festival is here. Sigrblot Festival will go live on July 29 and will end on August 19. Participating in the festival will grant players exclusive rewards, including the previously announced one-handed sword. There are some requirements that you will have to fulfill to participate, which are mentioned below along with the highlights of the update.
- Players must reach England and complete one of the first two narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire OR Ledecestrescire) and be at least Settlement Level 2 to participate in the Sigrblot Festival.
- We added a new menu option to the game to adjust NPC levels to your liking. You may choose from the following options:
- Off: Scaling is turned off; enemies appear exactly as prescribed in the region description.
- Default: Lower enemies are brought up to 50 power levels under the player’s level (How the game is intended to be played).
- ConstantL Enemies will be at least at the same power level as the player.
- Harder: Enemies will be 30+ power levels above the player.
- Nightmarish: Enemies will be 60+ power levels above the player.
- Note: Boss encounters and game modes will not be impacted by this as they have their own intended difficulty settings.
- The Skill Tree has improved visibility for new skills added throughout the post-launch.
- We’ve added an option that will auto-acquire all the skill nodes required to reach the currently highlighted node (if you have enough skill points available).
- Light Fingered: Eivor will now automatically pick up nearby loot with a quick flick of the wrist (without having to press the interact button).
- Thrill of War: Gain adrenaline as long as you remain in conflict.
- Heidrun Slam: Press R2 while sprinting to knock enemies back with a powerful knee slam.
- Idunn's Heart: Passively regenerate recent health loss after a short delay.
- Survival Instinct: When at less than a third of health, hold -> for partial healing (Exchange adrenaline for health).
- Wolf Warrior: Your damage increases the lower your health is.
