Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok continues to showcase Ubisoft's greatest works. It's a rewarding addition to an already impressive list of DLC, designed for one of the best RPGs they've ever made.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök easily eclipses both The Siege of Paris and Wrath of the Druids, serving up a good 40 hours-worth of top-notch action, exploration and challenges across a huge new world map. Combat here is enlivened by Eivor's new Hugr-Rip abilities, skills which also freshen up the game's puzzles and traversal, and the fantastical nature of the story leads to some of the biggest and best boss face-offs we've seen in the series to date. Newcomers may feel a little lost to begin with, there's a lot to get your head around here, but fans of Valhalla should be delighte...

While it stumbles greatly in execution, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla - Dawn of Ragnarök reignites the magic of the main game with a vast realm to explore and myriad secrets to discover using the new Hugr powers. It’s still a ton of fun, just don’t expect the story to be all that coherent.

For the devout Assassin’s Creed Valhalla fan, there’s about 20 hours or so of solid gameplay to be gleamed out of Dawn of Ragnarok. A bit more if you want to see and do everything. But chances are it won’t particularly impress. It’s simply more of the same for the most part, with a story that fails to truly engage. It’s perhaps the fact that you’re not given free reign of your new abilities that that’s the biggest disappointment – you’re supposed to be a god, so why not let us feel like one? And so, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is an inessential expansion. One that feels like a ...

More of that Assassin's Creed Valhalla Viking stomping you like, but with new magic, monsters, and a very nicely made world to play around in.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok is the biggest expansion in series history. Ubisoft's been feeding us that marketing bullet point for months, and having played it for ourselves, it's safe to say that the French publisher wasn't lying. It took us roughly 33 hours to complete everything that Dawn of Ragnarok has to offer, which includes a lengthy story campaign, a number of optional activities, side quests, and your usual open world map markers, which lead to equipment and loot. It's a chunky DLC, to say the least.

Dawn of Ragnarok is an expansion aimed specifically toward Assasin's Creed: Valhalla enthusiasts. Read the full Twisted Voxel review.

For me, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was a title that consumed far too many days in late 2020. Alongside Miles Morales, it was Eivor’s husky voice that introduced me to the PS5 as she led me around the English countryside slaughtering enemies and hunting down every damn glowing mystery mark on the map, in between drug-fueled vision quests in Asgard.

The first post-season pass DLC is a substantial slab of new plot, gear, and abilities but never anything more than that. If you loved the base game, this is a lot more of exactly the same.

Ubisoft is always looking for new ways to make Assassin’s Creed Valhalla better. Since its release, the developers have released a couple of DLCs and have added a lot of content to the game through it. And as for Dawn of Ragnarok, it’s Ubisoft’s latest attempt to give players something new to experience.

As with the other expansion packs, Dawn of Ragnarok spends a little too much time trying to replicate side content within the DLC's lens. Sinmara’s Chosen are the latest equivalent of the roving champions system that has been a part of the Assassin's Creed series for a few games now, providing tough fights in unexpected places, while there is also silica collection which acts as a mirror of the crafting system, but neither fits thematically with what Dawn of Ragnarok is about. Like with the other DLC for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Dawn of Ragnarok tries too much to be a microcosm of the origin...
