Ubisoft provided a comprehensive video explanation on how to obtain The Last Chapter in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Friday. While many die-hard fans have most likely already met the requirements for unlocking the game’s final DLC, the newly released video serves as a checklist for those who haven’t returned to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla since its release in 2020 or have only recently started playing it but want to know how Eivor’s story ends.
The Last Chapter will be included in the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla 1.62 update, which is set to be released on December 6. The DLC will serve as a conclusion to Eivor’s journey, which Ubisoft has been telling over the past two years in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. A teaser released a few months ago stated that The Last Chapter will revisit Eivor’s connection with Havi, but that was the extent to which the devs were ready to speak on the new plot. Today’s video mentions that the protagonist will be reunited with “old friends and foes” on this final adventure, but it doesn’t go into detail.
Instead, the remainder of the film is devoted to detailing the four conditions for accessing The Last Chapter. The most time-consuming requirement is finishing the main plot by offering loyalty to all of England’s domains, which will most likely take approximately 60 hours. Following that come to the Asgard and Jotunheim quest lines, which can take up to 10 hours to complete. Finally, the video explains that players will have to remove all targets from the Order of the Ancients in order to uncover its commander and get their colony up to level five—complete with the construction of Jomsviking barracks—before proceeding to the epilogue.
Those remaining two prerequisites push the projected playtime for The Last Chapter above 100 hours. Whether or whether that is an acceptable time commitment to provide to the players has been the topic of much contentious debate among the fanbase in recent years, with many players feeling exhausted with the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC.
Following the near completion of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s narrative, Ubisoft will focus on finalising the next Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The next edition in the long-running series was allegedly scheduled as Valhalla DLC before being extended into a full-fledged sequel set to debut next year.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is currently available on Amazon Luna, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The Google Stadia version of the game will be playable until January 18, 2023, when the service will be discontinued.
