Assassin’s Creed Valhallahas released The Last Chapter of Eivor’s saga a little bit earlier than Ubisoft promised – meaning that the content is already available to all players across all platforms. Thenew direction that started whenAssassin’s Creed Originsreleasedto critical and popular acclaim is coming to an end withValhalla’s finale, asAssassin’s Creed Miragevows to take the franchise back to its stealthier roots in 2023.
Ubisoft releasedThe Dawn of Ragnarok forAssassin’s Creed Valhallaearlier this year, and The Last Chapter promises to conclude the story of Eivor, as Basim Ibn Ishaq prepares to take center stage as the newAssassin’s Creedprotagonist. Unlike the previous DLCs ofValhalla, The Last Chapter requires no monetary investment on the part of its audience – but it does demand a bit of time to meet its in-game prerequisites. Namely, it asks the players to complete the main story of the game, finish the Asgard and Jotunheim plot, as well as eliminate all the targets from the Order of the Ancients.

Originally, The Last Chapter was supposed to come out on December 6, but the officialAssassin’s Creed Valhallaaccount on Twitter surprised its fans with an early release today, making the final DLC and its accompanying patch available for download. Without delving into spoiler territory, the update recontextualizes Eivor’s connection with Havi in a way that may end up polarizing amongAssassin’s Creedfans. On a less controversial note, it does feature a crossover withAssassin’s Creed Mirage, allowing players to become more acquainted with Basim in a leading role.
Unfortunately, the reception towards the new DLC has been rather lukewarm – atrend that has followedValhalla’s DLCsover the past two years, with manyAssassin’s Creedplayers becoming fatigued by the presence of content, but absence of depth. With the previous installment taking a deep dive into Greek mythology in its post-launch content, the story direction ofValhalla’s DLCs paled in comparison for most fans of the franchise.
Despite a few shortcomings, The Last Chapter forAssassin’s Creed Valhallaprovides an additional half-hour epilogue to Eivor’s tale, stays true to her character, and sets up theplot ofAssassin’s Creed Mirageperfectly – featuring a few familiar faces in the modern day plot. The rumored release date window forMirageseems to be next spring, so players can expect to see the next chapter of theAssassin’s Creedfranchise very soon.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais available now on Amazon Luna, PC, Stadia, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
