Assassins Creed Valhalla Adding River Raids Mode Alongside Game Improvements

Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Title Update 1.1.2 will be released tomorrow, February 16, and will add a new River Raids game mode alongside a ton of game improvements.

As detailed on Ubisoft.com, Title Update 1.1.2 will be released on all platforms at 4am PT/7am ET/12pm GMT and will range from 10.23 GB on PS4 to 19.53 GB on Xbox Series X/S.

The River Raids game mode is part of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Yule Season and is a replayable mode that will take you to unexplored regions of England and will allow you and your Jomsviking crew to raid to your heart's content. This new mode is just one part of this free update, and it will offer new loot, rewards, and challenges for those who can conquer it.

There will also be new abilities and skills that Eivor can acquire, and they are as follows;

        
    Ability: Berserker Trap - This attaches a trap to your arrow, spreading hallucinatory powder. Any nearby movement causes the trap to trigger. Surprise clueless passersby!
    Ability: Battle Cry - In a fit of rage, Eivor lets out a blood curdling scream, gaining strength and causing nearby enemies to stumble backwards in fear, interrupting their attacks.
    Ability: Shoulder Bash - Eivor performs a shoulder bash that pushes back enemies and destroys objects.
    Skill: Assassin Carry - Automatically carry a body after a successful assassination.
    Skill: Assassin Slide - Slide into enemies and knock them off balance while sprinting.
    Skill: Power Stroke - Trigger a speed boost on the long ship at the cost of stamina.
    Skill: Arrow Looter - Eivor has a greater chance of looting arrows from archers.
    Skill: Fight Ready - Always start a fight with an adrenaline-filled slot.
    Skill: Long Ship Brace - When you are in command of the long ship, the crew will raise their shield with you.

Alongside all these other additions, Ubisoft has made a ton of game improvements to make you adventure in Assassin's Creed Valhalla a bit smoother. The full list of improvements is listed below.
