Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Latest Update Adds Nightmare Difficulty

The official Twitter account for Assassin’s Creed has now revealed that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla would be getting a nightmare difficulty with its latest update. Players trying out the Nightmare difficulty will have to fight against ruthless foes, and might be worth looking into for those wanting an extra umph in terms of challenge.

Alongside a new difficulty, the update will also be adding River Raids maps, new armor and gear amongst a load of other minor additions. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla also received the last of its planned expansions recently, The Seige of Paris – which received mostly favorable reviews.

Of course, there’s still pin-drop silence on what the next entry in the franchise would entail. Assassin’s Creed Infinity project has been confirmed, but there’s little to no confirmation whether it would be the next mainline entry or a side-affair to the canon entries in the franchise. Either way, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be receiving new content updates in the future, meaning fans still have a lot to look forward to.

We can’t give everything away just yet, but the upcoming game update may or may not include:

? 3 new River Raids maps
? Nightmare combat difficulty
? 3 new abilities
? New weapons and gear (did someone say short sword?)#AssassinsCreed pic.twitter.com/90NTQx1CIE
