Getting immersed in the new environment is going to be hard when you are yanked out of the historical period every few hours for the sake of the larger story arc. However, the biggest put-off in the game is the continued inclusion of the lore that started the series. This new version offers a fresh direction by providing a historical epic. Of course, there are times when your character may do sneak attacks, but it looks to be more of a continuity nod rather than the central mechanic. Moreover, it introduces new features, such as raids, settlement management, and customization. The game, like Origins and Odyssey, is far more focused on direct combat rather than the silent kill mechanics of earlier entries. Speaking of assassins, this installment seems to do away with the stealth that the series is known for.
It also features large open, rural environments rather than the dense cities that allow assassin avatars to do their job. Unlike other games from the series, the game is far more concerned with large-scale battles between the soldiers of Medieval Britain and Viking invaders. In fact, it looks to be the bloodiest entry to date. Will you be redownloading AC Valhalla to check out this new update next week? I guess you may not have a choice if you want to play the game with any online connectivity.Assasin's Creed Valhalla shows a much bloodier affair than the other AC titles. Potentially shrinking a game by a third of its size is a commendable feat, and one I hope is considered much earlier in the development process for future games. It's a little strange to see a complete data restructure pushed to a game that's been available for a year, but it's also a welcome sight with the ballooning sizes of games. Here's the data straight from Ubisoft's forum post: Your DLC, luckily, will not factor into the updating process. If you notice that the download sizes are huge, they are! This update requires the full base game to be redownloaded, so plan accordingly to not unexpectedly fly over your data cap. Not only will your hard drive or SSD have some spare room after the 1.4.1., Valhalla will feature "faster loading screen times, improved world data streaming, and overall runtime performance" compared to previous versions. A post from the developers on Ubisoft's forums runs down the numbers for each platform, including the update's download size and overall space savings achieved. Xbox Series X is the big winner here, clocking in with a massive 44GB footprint reduction to the game. Title Update 1.4.1 "consolidates the game files, resulting in a smaller overall game size on all platforms," significantly reducing the space needed to have Valhalla installed. Not content-wise, that's all staying put, but rather the file size of the game will shrink on all platforms thanks to a data restructure.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting quite a bit smaller with a new update next week.
