If raiding and pillaging your way through England was just a little too breezy for you inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, here’s a new challenge for your Eivor. Valhalla’s next title update is inbound tomorrow, bringing a new “Aesir” (nightmare) difficulty level. The update is also adding new river raid missions and extra tattoo options. That’s all coming in update 1.3.1 tomorrow, September 7th.
Three new river raids are inbound, set in Erriff, Berbha, and Rhine. Along with that, you’ll be able to upgrade your Jomsviking Hall and your river raid longship cargo size to higher levels. Three new abilities will be found in monestaries during river raids as well.
Back when it launched last November, Alice B said in herAssassin’s Creed Valhalla reviewthat the river raids were good fun. “You and your mates run around yelling, bashing people with heavy sticks and trying to take as much ground as possible,” she said. “Combat is fast and often confusing, with blocking and parrying returning and given more importance than ever.”
