Title update 1.5.3 for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla launches tomorrow and will give players a special treat in the form of some new rainbow-infused weaponry. The Bifrost Bundle, which includes a Shimmering Shield and an Iridescent Axe, will be available for free in the Animus store from June 28 to July 26.
The update itself will require a bit of space to install on different platforms. Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S players will need 8.4GB available, and those on Xbox One will need 8.8GB. On PlayStation 5, the update takes up a slightly niftier 1.2GB and on PlayStation 4 it’s 1.4GB. Those playing the game on PC will need a spare 7.17GB to update their game to the newest version.
Along with the Bifrost Bundle, the new update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla addresses a number of in-game issues. The majority of these seem to be to do with the Dawn of Ragnarok expansion, although some fixes to the base game have also been put in place. In addition, there are new fixes in place to deal with issues arising from the newly-added Armory and the game’s Mastery Challenges.
