Despite being a highly requested addition, Don't Stop Playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla Yet
Assassin's Creed Valhalla Is Too Big For New Game+
As announced during an Assassin's Creed showcase back in September, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will conclude its story with the Last Chapter mission. The free epilogue will reunite Eivor with key characters from across the Viking Age adventure and offer closure to the Raven Clan's journey. Since this DLC serves as a conclusion to the entire game, players will need to complete a number of prerequisite tasks before they can access the new Assassin's Creed Valhalla mission. Fans will be able to experience Eivor's emotional final voyage after completing the main storyline, hunting the entire Order of the Ancients and upgrading their settlement to Level 5.
While New Game+ would make repeated playthroughs of the game more engaging, Ubisoft suggests that the Forgotten Saga game mode in Assassin's Creed Valhalla can serve as a worthy substitute. The roguelike mode, added to the game for free earlier this year, sees players repeatedly battle through the realm of Niflheim as Odin. The All-Father gets progressively more powerful with each run, and each journey into the foggy realm presents different enemies and obstacles, granting the mode great replayability. The Forgotten Saga is very different from a New Game+ mode, which lets players keep their old gear as they replay the game, but it does give Assassin's Creed Valhalla virtually limitless gameplay opportunities.
Many fans have been anticipating the addition of New Game+ to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but unfortunately this option will never arrive. The Viking Age journey is absolutely massive, which apparently prevented Ubisoft from making the mode unique and rewarding. Many will see the game's lack of New Game+ as a missed opportunity, but Assassin's Creed Valhalla still remains one of the franchise's biggest and most robust historical adventures yet.
