That brings update 1.6.0

Alongside the new DLC, update 1.6.0 also brings back the Sigrblot Festival, which is scheduled to run from August 4th to 25th. Here you can prove yourself in various disciplines and in return you can dust off rewards.

Meanwhile, the Forgotten Saga mode, also known as the Niflheim DLC, adds a roguelite mode to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Here we slip into the role of Odin again and travel to Niflheim to take on Hel, the goddess of death.

The trophies of the DLC have already leaked and give clues as to what to expect:

Four different regions should also await us in the DLC, as well as numerous secrets that can give us useful buffs. Although we are supposed to use different weapons in each run, we are allowed to keep our equipment permanently.
