Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Oskoreia Season Update Content

Assassin’s Creed is without a doubt one of Ubisoft’s most renowned franchises. The most recent entry in the series – Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, stands out particularly amongst them due to its improved combat mechanics, compelling storyline and of course its expansive depiction of Norse mythology.

The Oskoreia Festival, commonly known as the Wild Hunt Festival, has been anticipated by fans of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla since dataminers discovered proof of it in September 2021. This event appears to be inspired by the Wild Hunt, a northern European folklore theme prevalent in many cultures. Oskoereia is also the Norwegian name for the Wild Hunt.

Valhalla continues to shine brightly as the Oskoreia Season Free Update approaches. This update includes the limited-time event as well as a new free gaming activity. All of which are highlighted in a new video.

What’s Featured in the Valhalla Update

During the trailer, players learn that the gods will journey to Midgard to hunt. Their prey will be composed of both monsters and mankind, like the real-life Wild Hunt. Eivor and his companions appear to be taking part in this festival to demonstrate that they are not easy prey by putting themselves through numerous challenges. A lot of effort has clearly gone into this update since it was prominently featured within Valhalla’s content roadmap.

Eivor must find a way to pay respect the dead, or else they will haunt the Vikings during this time-limited event between November 11th and December 2nd. We see Eivor battle a variety of foes including spectral enemies of unknown origin, and also a werewolf. There will be a variety of new activities and rewards for players in the update too. Eivor and their Raven are both decked out with some new bone accessories. We also see Eivor wielding Hel’s scythe.

The Tombs of the Fallen free gaming activity will be included in the same update. This will see Eivor delving deep into ancient ruins and solving puzzles. Eivor is shown navigating a range of platforming difficulties.. These tombs look to be packed with bats, snow, and a wide variety of unique environmental features and traps. It’s unclear what Tombs of the Fallen’s main narrative will involve, but it offers a new challenge regardless.
