For a series first, Ubisoft will be supporting Assassin's Creed Valhalla into its second year, which means players can expect regular free updates, community-requested tweaks and features, and game expansions--including a new educational Discovery Tour. Discovery Tour: Viking Age will allow fans of Assassin's Creed Valhalla to play as ordinary people during the age of Vikings.

Discovery Tour: Viking Age will be free to all owners of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While the Assassin's Creed franchise has always featured a surprising level of historical accuracy, this will allow players to explore the game's world and provide a deeper dive into the history of the Viking age.

Discovery Tour Viking Age will also feature opportunities to collect exclusive rewards, though Ubisoft has yet to go into detail on the subject. Reportedly, the next Assassin's Creed game will be even bigger than Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which may explain why Valhalla is getting so much post-launch support. The trailer for Discovery Tour Viking Age shows players hammering steel spikes into felled trees, visiting a monastery, and interacting with other characters. The narrator invites both fans of Assassin's Creed who want more information on Assassin's Creed Valhalla's sprawling world and history students looking to brush up on their Viking age knowledge to give this Discovery Tour a try.

In Discovery Tours, players can explore the environment, engage in historical activities, and learn about real locations and events without having to worry about killing or being killed. The result is a far more laid-back experience than a full Assassin's Creed game--perfect for gamers who just want to learn more about how people lived in the age of Vikings. That information could be useful for fleshing out the game's timeline, especially since the upcoming Siege of Paris DLC takes place 8 years after the original Assassin's Creed Valhalla campaign. Discovery Tour: Viking Age could give players a valuable glimpse into what Eivor's life was like during the time skip.

Discovery Tour: Viking Age will be coming this fall. Fans who aren't quite as excited about the new Discovery Tour will still have a lot to look forward to in Assassin's Creed Valhalla this year, including the Mastery Challenge Game Mode coming later this week and the game's second DLC expansion, Siege of Paris, coming this Summer.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
