Ubisoft has posted the patch notes for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update 1.5.0, and they’re really very extensive. Indeed, this is expected to be another big patch, and its primary purpose is to create the technological foundations for Dawn of Ragnarok – the expansion that’s launching on the 10th March.
But patch 1.5.0 isn’t only behind-the-scenes things it also provides new difficulty options so that you can fine-tune the experience, and it addresses some unpleasant problems with stealth-based gaming.
Here are the detailed patch notes for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 1.05.0.
