On Thursday Ubisoft launched one of their largest and best expansions yet for the Assassin’s Creed brand, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gets much bigger thanks to the Dawn of Ragnarök expansion. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök once more takes the player into the eye of Odin/Havi as he travels to the realm of Svartalfheim after his favorite son Baldr has gone missing. There he finds Surtr and his wife Sinmara have invaded the realm of the Dwarves searching for powerful souls to power an ancient Eleven weapon. Dawn of Ragnarök truly expands upon the AC story by pulling the threads of the Norse Gods laid out in the main game. If you like the Thor movies and think you know about Norse mythology think again, this expansion is HEAVY on mythology and it is the true stuff not the stuff seen in the Marvel films. They pack a lot to do in this relatively small map. Bigger than the expansions but still pretty small for an open world game. The world is lush and gorgeous as Svartalfheim is being ravaged not just by the soldiers of Muspelheim but also by the giants of Jotunheim as the two join forces to cover the green world of the Dwarves in fire and ice. Adding new powers to Odin by allowing him to steal the powers of the raven, fire, teleportation, rebirth, and winter. Allowing the player to fly let’s them explore like never before, teleporting adds new ways to assassinate enemies, and the others bring new and fun ways to the fighting mechanics. They also add five new armor sets, one of which is by far the coolest in any AC game, and they make you work for it. You find it just inside of one of four shelters but it is cursed and you must find five runes to bless it making it an amazing piece of armor. They also add another level of superiority to armor and weapons, now above Mystic is Divine, which allows you to ignore fall damage in the dream world. My one gripe is that I really didn’t like playing as Odin, he’s a massive asshole and multiple times told people how little he cares for them, the only thing he cares for is getting his son back. They set up the next expansion very well and I can not wait to see what they do next. 250 hours in now! This is a 9/10. -Tyler.
