New Game+
We know this has been a request for ages, and we appreciate your patience. You can now start your Viking quest all over again after completing the main story of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. To access NG+ you’ll have to complete the Holy Day Quest, which is the last quest of the Hamtunscire region. (This is before the true ending of the game but since it is a very big game, we’ve decided to allow you to start NG+ a little bit earlier) Each iteration of NG+ will get progressively harder, offering new challenges to players who want to revisit the Viking Age again and again.
In NG+, receiving a piece of gear or interacting with a book of knowledge that you already own will instead reward you with a piece of Mithril, a new resource. Mithril will also be accessible in the Niflheim, Mastery and River Raid shops, offering an alternate source of material for players who simply want to continue their adventure in the endgame. Additionally, looting Carbon, Nickel and Tungsten in a Wealth Chest will instead give Platinum, an ingot previously only available in the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, now available for free. This also means that upgrading a piece of gear to the Divine quality is now available without the DLC.

Extra Upgrades
To keep up with each NG+, we are raising the maximum upgrade level of each piece of divine gear from 13 to 27, increasing your gear’s potential strength. Each upgrade will require the new Mithril resource, so you will need a lot of it!
Extended Progression Mode
This gameplay option allows you to play through Valhalla with a more granular sense of progression. While Extended Progression is active, Gear upgrades and Runes will increase Power by 1 point, and Masteries increase Power every 5 skill points. This mode is intended to increase the impact of your gear. The challenge is greater, but the reward is great for the mighty.
Stash
As we all know, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a big game, and it keeps getting bigger each year. With this update, we’re adding a way to help sort and organize your gear and runes; the Stash. In Ravensthorpe, you’ll be able to discover a newly installed Stash which, when interacted with, will allow players to store any piece of gear and any rune from their inventory.
Rune Forge Update
As an added bonus, we’ve decided to give the rune forge a couple of updates. Players will notice a new tab within the menu which will allow them to upgrade their runes in exchange for silver. From lesser to normal, from normal to greater AND from greater to superior, a new tier of rune which can be only obtained from the rune upgrade page. This last upgrade requires Mithril instead of silver and will allow players to obtain even more power from their runes.
The second addition to the rune forge is in the engrave page; we’ve added more than 300 available engravable runes, allowing players to engrave all of the perks that have been added since the release of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, including DLCs and those purchased in the Helix Store. As long as players acquire a weapon or an entire armor set, they will find the set of armor and weapon in the engrave menu which will be able to be engraved into a rune for 450 silver. This allows players to create many different perk combinations; we can’t wait to see what they do with these new opportunities.
New Achievements
The Most Requested Update also brings 2 new achievements for the completionists amongst you:
- Ivaldi’s Heir: Fully upgrade a Divine Gear
- Circle of Renewal: Complete a New Game+ run
PSSR 2 Support
PSSR 2 support arrives on PlayStation®5 Pro console, enhancing image quality and performance as you journey through sweeping landscapes, vibrant cities and serene countryside.
