I felt like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla could never end. Long after the seas swallowed the continents and the stars died out, Eivor would still find new settlements to scavenge and new cosmetics to play with. But today Ubisoft announced the almost unthinkable: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has come to an end and is coming in the next free DLC.

Called The last chapter, the update expected later this year, will see Eivor tie all her loose ends and meet some new historical figures along the way. Ubisoft didn’t go into much more detail, but it sounds like it’s going to be a victory lap of sorts and probably a little more low-key than some of Viking’s previous DLC adventures.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was released back in Fall 2020 alongside the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The third game in the series’ open-world RPG era took players through the eyes of Eivor in the 9th century, a Viking who led her people to a strange new land after fleeing trauma and tragedy to return home was. It is the best Assassin’s Creed Game in several years, borrowing bits The witcher 3 and to marry her with secret stabbing in the shade. The open world itself is richly layered and one of my favorites.

But Ubisoft wasn’t content with just leaving things there. Instead, as has been the case with all his recent games, Valhalla got the Full live service post launch treatment. This included mini-DLC packs full of new items and crossover cosmetics, paid DLC story expansions that took players to Ireland and France, and even an all-new mode inspired by roguelikes. Dawn of Ragnarokone of the more ambitious DLCs, even doubled down on the high-fantasy side of the game.

But now the years of new seasonal content are coming to an end. And I’m relieved. Games that are constantly expanding Valhalla always overwhelmed me. I usually just wait for all the post-launch content to drip out before going back. It looks like this winter I’ll finally get my chance to return to the full, super deluxe version of Valhalla and polish off every last symbol on its gargantuan map.
