Assassin's Creed Valhalla is Getting New Game+ Six Years After Release

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, released in November 2020, is set to receive a New Game+ mode six years after its initial release. Ubisoft announced this in a recent blog post, along with other enhancements planned for the popular historical action game. The new game+ mode will launch on November 5 and will feature an optional progression system, new runes, achievements and a stash system. Additionally, the game will introduce a new crafting material called Mithril, which can be used to upgrade divine gear.

In the same announcement, Ubisoft teased more updates for Valhalla. They indicated that they will share full details in upcoming Patch Notes, including news about current-generation console updates. While Valhalla has versions for PS5 and Xbox Series, it has yet to receive a PS5 Pro Enhanced update. Ubisoft likely meant a graphics boost when referring to current-generation console updates.

It's worth noting that in the years since Valhalla's release, every console has been updated with better upscaling technology, such as QSSR on the base PS5 and FSR 4.1 on the Xbox Series consoles.

Despite its launch reception, Assassin's Creed Valhalla has faced several delays in receiving updates. Players had to wait nearly two years to get Steam achievements, and the company was still addressing bugs with the game as late as January 2025. It remains to be seen how these new updates will improve the game and its longevity in the years to come.
