Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s first major expansion, Wrath of the Druids, will be released tomorrow, May 13. The DLC was previously delayed from its April 29 release to allow the team more time to polish the experience. Wrath of the Druids sees Eivor travel to Ireland, where they are tasked with uniting the island’s warring factions to combat the Druidic cult, the Sons of Danu.
The expansion offers a new thematic twist by immersing itself fully in Gaelic myths and folklore. You’ll explore Dublin City alongside three new provinces dotted with historic landmarks like Giant’s Causeway, Black Pig’s Dyke, and Tara Hill. To get an idea of what to expect, take a look at the launch trailer below:
Throughout the adventure, you will explore enchanted forests and fight mythical creatures with new weapons such as the sickle, smoke bomb arrows, and the Irish Hound’s summoning ability. You can also conquer Irish Ring Forts and shape Dublin’s economy by forming alliances to establish trade routes. By trading rare and coveted goods with other nations, you can turn the city into a bustling center of commerce.
If you’re still playing Valhalla’s main campaign but are eager to dive into Wrath of the Druids, you’re in luck. You don’t need to finish the story to start the expansion. As long as you’ve arrived in England and completed the Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire arches, you’re good to go.
Wrath of the Druids is included in the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Season Pass and can be purchased separately for $ 24.99. Remember that expansion is just the beginning of a longer post-launch content roadmap. To see what else is coming in the future, check out this breakdown of what’s to come here. Just keep in mind that some dates could change due to the delay of Wrath of the Druids.
