Nearly six years after its original release, Assassin's Creed Valhalla has finally received one of its most requested features. Ubisoft has launched a major free update that introduces New Game+, allowing players to experience Eivor's Viking adventure again while keeping much of their existing progression.
The update, appropriately titled The Most Requested Update, became available on November 5. Players can unlock New Game+ after completing the Holy Day quest in the Hamtunscire region. Each additional playthrough introduces tougher challenges, with difficulty scaling alongside the player's progression.
However, New Game+ is only part of the update. Ubisoft has also introduced an optional Enhanced Progression Mode, which allows equipment, runes and masteries to contribute to Eivor's overall Power level.
The update also adds Mithril, a new resource used to improve Divine gear and strengthen runes. Players can now upgrade equipment to Divine quality and increase its maximum level to 27. The Rune Forge has also received improvements, including more than 300 engravable runes.
Another welcome addition is a stash system in Ravensthorpe, allowing players to store weapons, armor and runes. New achievements and rewards are also available, including a Master Assassin outfit inspired by Naoe from Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Players on PlayStation 5 Pro can also expect improved visuals thanks to enhanced PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution technology. Quality Mode now targets 60 frames per second, offering a smoother experience without sacrificing visual detail.
The update arrives as Assassin's Creed Valhalla celebrates another major milestone. According to Ubisoft, the game has now surpassed 40 million players since its original launch in November 2020.
The Most Requested Update is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, giving both returning players and newcomers another reason to explore the Viking Age.
