Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update 1.5.1 is live and here’s to you

Eivor gets another chance to prove himself in new Master Challenges.

Valhalla is the first Assassin’s Creed to be kept fresh with new content for its second year as well. This also means that this year at Easter, the Eastre Festival (Ostara Festival) is coming up again. This is making its way into the game with Update 1.5.1, although we’ll have to wait a little longer for it to happen. For this we can start directly with the new master challenges, which should demand all our skills.

When will Patch 1.5.1 be released? The update is available for download from today, April 19 at 1 p.m. German time.

How big is the patch? How much storage space is really needed depends on which platform you play on:

• PlayStation 5: Approx. 2.92GB
• PlayStation 4: Approx. 1.41GB
• Xbox Series X/S: Approx. 9.0GB
• Xbox One: about 8.2GB
• PC: about 12.33GB

New master challenges await Eivor

As usual, these are repeatable tests in which we have to prove ourselves in close and long-range combat as well as in sneaking and collect points. The better we do, the better the badges and rewards we can get from Hildiran in the settlement.

Package 2 delivers: With the new update, three new shrines are added where we can complete trials and end in a boss fight. New rewards include the Valkyrja armor set, a new tattoo set, and various new weapons and settlement objects.

Precondition: In order to play the new Master Challenges, Eivor must have at least 221 Strength. In addition, the storyline from the Master Challenges Pack 1 must be completed and the main quest “Uninvited Guests” (according to the reports on Grantabrycgscir and Legracæsterscir) must be completed.

Celebrate Eastre Festival in the Settlement

Also this year we can celebrate Easter with Eivor and the residents of the settlement. We can look forward to an event like last year, where we can play mini-games, complete small missions such as egg hunts and unlock new objects. This year there are new weapons in Norvid’s shop that we can earn. Besides, at this time the whole settlement is solemnly decorated.

From when to when does Eastre Fest run? from April 21st to May 12th

Precondition: In order to participate in the Eastre Festival, you must have completed the first two story arcs (Grantabrycgscir or Legracæsterscir) and reached a settlement level of 2.

Last year at Easter we were able to celebrate the Eastre Festival in AC Valhalla.

The AC Valhalla roadmap for the next few weeks

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla still has a few months left in Year 2 though. What kind of big DLC ​​awaits us – if any – remains to be seen, but at least Ubisoft has already given us a small preview of May:

With this small roadmap, another update and an armory were recently announced as a new building. According to the picture, we can store our armor and weapons decoratively.
