Ubisoft announces that Yule Season is now underway in
Assassin's Creed
Valhalla, offering the first seasonal content in the Viking
action/adventure. This adds new content, new challenges, and rewards, all free
to owners of the game. They offer
this article with a look at what to expect (thanks ConsoleGenRL). Here's a
summary:
Seasons are coming to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to extend the
post-launch experience throughout 2021, delivering a variety of new free content
for all players focused on gameplay and world evolution, with updates coming in
at different points during the Season.
The first Seasonal content of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the Yule Season,
invites players to discover the Yule Festival, an in-game event active until
January 7 in a dedicated area of the settlement. During the Yuletide
celebration, players can join in the festivities with a new Drinking game, an
Archery mini-game, a Fist Fight tournament, and two new character quests
available in the settlement. In addition, players can earn exclusive rewards
including a new gear set, settlement decorations, and more.
To experience the Yule Festival, players must reach England and complete one of
the first narrative arcs, either Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire. The
festival will then be triggered automatically when players visit the
settlement.
