New Content Featured In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Update 1.6
Update 1.6 of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla adds a free new game mode called The Forgotten Saga. The rogue-lite-inspired mode will take you into the depths of Niflheim to battle against overwhelming odds. It can be accessed once you have reached Asgard in the main quest.
After your first trip to Asgard, you can build a new structure in Ravensthorpe that will give you access to the Forgotten Saga mode. The gear and benefits you have gained throughout England do not carry over, and there are no power level restrictions to access this content.
