Assassin’s Creed Valhalla version 1.2.1 arrives tomorrow, and will bring with it new skills, missing fish that were supposed to be in the game, a long list of tweaks and fixes, and more. The size of the patch varies widely depending on your platform and even location – it’s approximately 14 GB on PC, 13 GB on Xbox One, 16 GB on Xbox Series X/S, 5.5 GB on PS4, and between 5 and 8 GB on PS5 depending on your region (couldn’t tell you why that is). Scroll on down for a rundown of some of the new features…
New Content
- Added support for Wrath of the Druids, preparing the game for the expansion release on May 13. (a separate download is required on release day.)
New Skills
- Cold Rage – Ignore hit interruptions while performing successive regular melee attacks. This effect recharges after a few seconds.

Balancing
