If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at the roguelite genre in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, then the new AC Valhalla mode is probably for you. Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Forgotten Saga as part of the series’ 15th anniversary celebrations. The Forgotten Saga mode launches in Summer 2022 and is free to all existing RPG owners.
In The Forgotten Saga, Eivor descends into Niflheim, also known as Viking Hell, and faces a series of threats, including bosses and other dangerous enemies. “Death defies” is a Ubisoft catchphrase that sounds a bit like Viking Hades. Eivor will choose from a pool of rewards at the end of the challenge, which seems to focus primarily on weapons of varying rarity like Mjolnir and Windbogs, or they can cash in and get Copper Coins.
Eivor only has four slots, at least to begin with, and one of those appears to be for shields, so The Forgotten Saga will likely rely heavily on careful resource management and learning from past mistakes. . Like all good roguelikes, you use your knowledge for your next run and hope for the best.
While Niflheim can be hell, it’s also a very diverse region, with poisonous green plains, burning caverns, and icy battle arenas between various locations featured in the trailer.
The Forgotten Saga is just part of Valhalla’s celebration. Ubisoft has announced that it will continue to support the game with a second year of free content, including returning festivals, new skill challenges, and new caves that will complement the Tombs of the Fallen challenge in fall 2022.
The performance also ended with a final sneak peek.
“The final surprise awaits fans later in the year when the Assassin’s Creed teams present the latest installment in Eivor’s story as a free chapter for all players.”
Whether this final chapter is a new expansion pack or another new mode remains a mystery for now.
