Ubisoft Announces New Game+ Mode for Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Ubisoft has made an unexpected move for the Assassin's Creed Valhalla community. Despite the title launching in November 2020, the company has officially confirmed that a New Game+ mode is being added to the project. This update, which has been highly requested by players for a long time, will be available on November 5.

What to expect from the update

Beyond the new mode, the update includes additional progression options, achievements, and new runes. The game will also introduce an item storage system and a new crafting material called Mithril, allowing players to upgrade divine-tier equipment. According to Ubisoft, this is just the beginning, with detailed patch notes expected in the coming days.

Of particular interest is the company's hint regarding updates for current-generation consoles. While the game already features dedicated PS5 and Xbox Series versions, it has yet to be adapted for the capabilities of the PS5 Pro. It is likely that the upcoming update will focus on visual enhancements and support for modern technologies, such as improved upscaling systems.

A long road to updates

Assassin's Creed Valhalla has had a complex history regarding post-launch support. While the game received positive reviews upon release for its expansive and detailed open world, technical issues persisted for years. For instance, players on Steam waited nearly two years for the implementation of an achievement system, and the company did not conclude its work on bug fixes until January 2025.

Despite these delays, Valhalla remains one of the most popular entries in the franchise. Ubisoft has also shared limited information regarding the upcoming project, Assassin's Creed: Codename Hexe, though details remain under wraps for now. For players who continue their journey through the Viking epic, this update provides a compelling reason to return. The new materials and modes are expected to extend the longevity of content that has been on the market for six years. We look forward to the November 5 update to see how effectively Ubisoft utilizes the new technical resources of modern consoles.
