Assassin's Creed Valhalla's The Last Chapter update concludes Eivor's journey and sets up Mirage - Hood always on, free quests, and more

After two years of extended post-launch content, Ubisoft's flagship title, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, has come to an end. Aptly named The Last Chapter, the final narrative concludes Eivor's journey in the update while setting up the next chapter of the franchise, Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the 12th mainline entry in Ubisoft's iconic stealth-action turned RPG series, taking players across different time periods, and depicting a conflict between two opposing factions. It follows Eivor's journey as she travels to Vinland in hopes of finding a place for her clan.

What's new in Assassin's Creed Valhalla The Last Chapter Update?

The Last Chapter update of Assassin's Creed Valhalla introduces two new quests to the game, with one concluding Eivor's journey and the other setting up for Mirage. While it does not introduce a New Game + mode, it brings the long-requested feature that allows players to always keep their hood on. Gamers will also get premium items from the store and will be able to buy all the festival rewards.

Listed below are all the new features that have been added in the Last Chapter update of Valhalla.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - The Last Chapter

The Last Chapter quest takes a look back at Eivor's journey over the last two years, from arriving in Vinland to exploring Ireland and Paris and witnessing Ragnarok. This epilogue chapter is about Eivor and Valhalla's swansong before the era of Mirage.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Shared History

The update includes another quest called Shared History. It features Roshan from Assassin's Creed: Mirage, voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo.

After running into Basim's mentor, Eivor soon discovers that they share a common enemy. The quest sets up Mirage and Basim's adventure in the next mainline title.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Hood Always On

Players will finally be able to keep their hoods on throughout Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Hooded robes have been an Assassin's Creed staple since the series' inception and are as iconic as the hidden blade or the creed icon.

While Valhalla let players pull the hood up, it was only limited to stealth. As soon as the players entered combat, Eivor would pull her hood down. With the final update, the developers have added an option to keep the hood on permanently.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Weekly Free Item

The recent trilogy of Assassin's Creed is infamous for its aggressive amount of paid cosmetic items, which is especially contrasted with Valhalla's limited in-game cosmetic items.

However, Valhalla will now give players a premium item weekly, barring event special items. The offer will reset every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC, and players must load a save file to redeem it.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Festival Rewards

While the four annual festivals won't be returning to Valhalla for the foreseeable future, players will be able to get the rewards from the shops.
