Ubisoft has confirmed that its first major DLC for AC Valhalla titled ‘Wrath of the Druids’ will launch for all platforms on April 29.

- A settlement decoration activity
- Drinking, archery, and fighting minigames
- Three new character quests: Eivor can enjoy an egg hunt, the May-Queen celebration, and protect the settlement against night spirits
- Three new skills: Fearless Leaper lets Eivor land a devastating falling attack atop enemies, while the Raven’s Loot and Loot Food skills increase Eivor’s efficacy when at range or fighting close-up
