Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – Title Update 1.6.1 Patch Notes Released

Ubisoft will deploy Title Update 1.6.1 for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla today at 5 AM PDT, adding the second Tombs of the Fallen pack and the new Rune Forge. Patch notes are now available with the update ranging from 1.6 GB on PS5 to 11.9 GB on Xbox Series X/S.

There are three new Tombs of the Fallen, each full of traps and puzzles. Players will venture underwater and through lava, but what secrets do the Isu have to offer? Is the loot any good? We’ll find out later today.

The new Rune Forge should be worthwhile for those looking to experiment with their builds. Unlocked once Ravensthorpe reaches Level 4, it takes perks from gear and turns them into Runes. It costs Silver, but it applies to currently owned armor and weapons. If you’re looking for a specific Rune, you’ll need to scour the world for its source.

Check out the full patch notes below. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will receive another major update this year with The Last Chapter, which concludes Eivor’s saga. Stay tuned for more details on its release date in the coming months.
