Ubisoftis bidding Eivor and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla farewell today, releasing the murderous epic’s final patch. It’s enjoyed regular patches and meatier updates, as well as a handful of substantial expansions, for more than two years, so it’s had a pretty great run. The story itself was concluded back in December, withThe Final Chapter, so today’s patch is instead focused on squashing bugs and making minor tweaks.
I’ve still got the final expansion left to play, as well as a bunch of free quests, so I’m not quite ready to leave Eivor and her clan behind just yet, but I find myself hesitant to finish things up because Valhalla has become one of my faves. I’m excited for Mirage and the return of the more classic style of AC games, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching the series grow into something so different from its original form.

Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person. With over a decade of experience, he’s been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He’s also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he’s not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
It looks like Ubisoft’s finally had it with the Assassin’s Creed Shadows outrage mill: ‘When we self-censor in the face of threats, we hand over our power’
Ubisoft boss says it knows players think it has an ‘inconsistency in quality,’ so it delayed Assassin’s Creed Shadows to flip that script
Take-Two CEO says Grand Theft Auto 6 is on track for ‘fall’ next year, GTA 5 has sold over 205 million, and ‘PC will be more and more a part of [our] business going forward’
