Packaged as part of the July 27th update for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Level Scaling will have a profound impact on how the game is played. Ubisoft's official description for level scaling is as follows:

"Allows choosing the level of scaling for territory and enemies to provide more balanced or challenging experience. For those who want to feel the evolution of their character and crush their enemies, scaling is turned off, enemies spawn exactly as prescribed in the region description."

What this essentially means is that players can choose to allow enemies to adapt their HP and strength based off of their own progression. This now means that traveling through a low-level area won't be easy, as the enemies will now match the player's stats to make for a tougher experience.

Players have five choices when it comes to level scaling:

• Default
• Off
• Constant
• Harder
• Nightmarish
