After the release of Wrath of the Druids, Assassin’s Creed Vahalla has seen no significant content release. As a result, the anticipation for the Siege of Paris DLC is at an all-time high.
With the rumor mill working overtime to provide as many “leaks” as possible, whispers of an August 5 release date have also been floating about.
Thankfully, Ubisoft has now provided a confirmed release for the DLC in the patch notes of AC Valhalla’s upcoming patch, Title Update 1.3.0. The Siege of Paris DLC will arrive across platforms on August 12, a little later than the rumored August 5 date.
Title Update 1.3.0, which arrives tomorrow on July 27, will be a pretty big update. The patch will bring Level Scaling and new additions to the Skill Tree along with various fixes and improvements.
Here’s a breakdown of Level Scaling and the new skills coming to the game as taken from the full patch notes:
Level Scaling
We added a new menu option to the game to adjust NPC levels to your liking. You may choose from the following options:
- Off = Scaling is turned off; enemies appear exactly as prescribed in the region description.
- Default = Lower enemies are brought up to 50 power levels under the player’s level (How the game is intended to be played).
- Constant = Enemies will be at least the same power level of the player.
- Harder = Enemies will be 30+ power levels above the player.
- Nightmarish = Enemies will be 60+ power levels above the player.
Note: Boss encounters and game modes will not be impacted by this as they have their own intended difficulty settings.
New Skills
RAVEN
• Light Fingered: Eivor will now automatically pick up nearby loot with a quick flick of the wrist (without having to press the interact button).
• Thrill of War: Gain adrenaline as long as you remain in conflict.
BEAR
• Heidrun Slam: Press R2 while sprinting to knock enemies back with a powerful knee slam.
• Idunn’s Heart: Passively regenerate recent health loss after a short delay.
WOLF
• Survival Instinct: When at less than a third of health, hold -> for partial healing (Exchange adrenaline for health).
• Wolf Warrior: Your damage increases to lower your health.
The update will also add the Sigrblot Festival to the game, which will run from July 29 to August 19. Players will get to participate in new festivities and quests to receive exclusive festival rewards. Said rewards will include a one-handed sword.
Because there’s so much going on with this patch, it will set you back by quite a lot of GB irrespective of the platform:
- Xbox Series X|S: 23.79 GB
- Xbox One: 17.72 GB
- PS5: 6.85 GB
- PS4: 15.3-24.5 GB (depending on region)
- PC: 20.4-31.37 GB (main game– season pass)
