At the moment, Assassin's Creed fans are preparing themselves for the newest entry in the series, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which will take them to the age of Vikings in 9th century England. But before that, fans may find themselves briefly returning to Assassin's Creed Odyssey and its Ancient Greece setting.

Later today, Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be receiving a new, and most likely its last, update. It's not a particularly big one, only about 3 or 4 GB, and will primarily be fixing a few issues. However, it will also include a new piece of content as a means to promote Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

The content in question is a very obviously Viking inspired armor set called the Norther Traveler's Set, which has Alexios and Kassandra dress up like a Viking warrior, with a two-handed axe included as well. It's not yet known whether the armor will be included for free or if players will need to complete some new quest or purchase it from the in-game store, but we should find out later today.

As for the fixes, those are listed below:

  • Addressed an issue where Cyclops quests weren’t available to some players after Title Update 1.5.3
  • Addressed an issue with the audio output of some of the crowd stations
  • Addressed an issue where a placeholder pop-up could appear upon unlocking Ezio’s Roman outfit

This isn't the only way fans can prepare themselves for Valhalla. A few days ago, we learned that a prequel comic book called Song of Glory is being made by Dark Horse and will seemingly focus on main character Eivor.

Both genders of Eivor appear on the front cover, indicating that both will appear, though how the writers intend to do that is unknown. Unlike Odyssey, where players had to choose between playing as either Alexios or Kassandra, Valhalla will allow players to control both genders of Eivor, with the option to switch between the two whenever they want.

That's not the only change either. Assassin's Creed Odyssey was heavily criticized for its rather boring side-quests, so Valhalla rendered them "non-existent," focusing on brand new world events instead.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
