Title Update 1.3.1, the next major update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will include new River Raid maps, more weapons, and the Nightmare difficulty option. After faltering out of the gate late last year, Ubisoft’s live service-like support for AC Valhalla continues unabated. The game has gotten a flurry of big and small upgrades this year, ranging from limited-time in-game events and new game modes to new weapons and features.
River Raids, a mode based on AC Valhalla’s raiding system, was added to the fun in February’s 1.1.2 release. The raids work in the same way as the main game, encouraging players to set sail aboard Eivor’s longship in quest of villages, monasteries, and military complexes to loot.

It does, however, have an additional element of difficulty not present in the campaign, which means the prizes are considerably more valuable. River Raids and AC Valhalla’s general combat difficulty will be increased again tomorrow.
Ubisoft has revealed a few information regarding what the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.3.1 will include. Three new River Raid maps will be released in the mode’s Map Pack #2, which will be available on all platforms on Tuesday, September 7.
Players may also expect Nightmare combat difficulty, which was introduced in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Furthermore, tomorrow’s update adds three new skills, as well as new clothing and weapons, maybe including a short sword.

As previously mentioned, AC Odyssey has a Nightmare difficulty, which was the most challenging combat mode in the open-world adventure. Despite the lack of level scaling in Nightmare mode, Kassandra/Alexios delivered less damage and received more damage each hit. Reason implies that Valhalla’s version of the hard setting will operate in a similar manner.
There will be more fresh content updates in the future. Title Update 1.3.2 is set to launch this fall, however Ubisoft has yet to reveal any details. According to earlier announcements from the publisher, Discovery Tour: Viking Age will also be released later this year. All of this comes on the heels of two paid expansions, Wrath of the Druids and The Siege of Paris, which were both published lately.
