Ubisoft hat Wort gehalten das umfangreiche Update 1.4.0 für das Action-Adventure Assassin's Creed Valhalla (ab 13,99€ bei kaufen) veröffentlicht. Der Patch steht ab sofort auf sämtlichen Plattformen zum Download bereit und ist bis zu 25 Gbyte groß.

Eines der großen Highlights im Update 1.4.0 von Assassin's Creed Valhalla dürfte die neue Aktivität „Gräber der Gefallenen“ darstellen. Wie es der Name bereits erahnen lässt, erkundet ihr hierbei mysteriöse Gräber und müsst dort einige Rätsel lösen. Außerdem gilt es, tödlichen Fallen auszuweichen. Als Belohnung für eure Mühen winken neue Ausrüstung, Geheimnisse und andere Dinge. Allerdings müsst ihr im Spiel zunächst die Siedlung freischalten, um die Gräber besuchen zu können.
