This article is over 3 years old and may contain outdated information.

Ahead of the launch of the latest Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update, Ubisoft has rustled up a list of all the changes and additions coming to the viking open-world action RPG. The newly published update 1.3.1 patch notes suggest that while not on par with the major expansions, the update isn’t a mere polishing and bug fixing affair. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.3.1 includes revamped River Raids, a new Nightmare difficulty, rune perk changes, and a community tattoo contest, along with the usual slew of improvements and tweaks.

As for the toll Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.3.1 will take on your internet connection, Ubisoft revealed some GB counts for reach platform. Xbox Series X/S players are looking at 34.05 GB, while the Xbox One download drops to 26.23 GB. PlayStation 5 owners get off comparatively lightly with only 14.31 GB, while PlayStation 4 tallies up to 30 GB. Finally, the PC update weighs in at 26.49 GB.

Read on for the full Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.3.1 patch notes.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.3.1 Patch Notes

River Raids Updateย 

  • Added 3 new Rivers to the RIVER RAIDS game mode. (Erriff,ย Berbha, Rhine)
    • Face 2 River Champions and the new Champions of the Faith. Defeat them to get your hands on new weapons.
  • Added new rewards to River Raids (Lugh’s Armor and 5 weapons – including a short sword)
  • Jomsvikingย Hall can be upgraded to Level 4-5, allowing players to hireย Jomsvikingย of Level 4-5, respectively.
