Ubisoft know a thing or two about creating wonderfully immersive worlds, having proved that the Assassin’s Creed franchise is totally ripe for such undertakings. It’s no surprise then to see them expanding the already huge world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with its first major expansion, that of Wrath of the Druids.
Available right now to purchase, download and add into your base game of Valhalla, Wrath of the Druids is the first expansion to Ubisoft’s latest world wonder. This time around players get the chance to unravel even more mysteries, with those of an ancient druid cult front and centre. It just so happens that this cult has rocked up onto the bewitching and beautiful lands of Ireland.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Wrath of the Druids will see you taking a trip to the Emerald Isle as Eivor is summoned by their long-lost cousin, Barid. It’s here where the Wrath of the Druids begins as you are drafted in by the High King of Ireland to embark on a new journey; one that is as perilous as they get. Your task? To unite the warring factions.
Eivor’s latest adventure will see you also attempting to unravel what is behind the Children of Danu, a cult that has risen up from Gaelic myths and folklore. This journey will take you through haunted forests, across the most dazzling landscapes – and we all know Assassin’s Creed does landscapes like no other – and into some of Ireland’s most famous landmarks. Yep, the Giant’s Causeway, Tara Hill, Black Pig’s Dyke, Ben Bulben and more will all be present.
With new weaponry, more enemies than ever before, a variety of gear, abilities and skills, plus the chance to trade on some of the most wealthy routes, should you have somehow managed to exhaust everything that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had previously been able to provide, taking in the new Wrath of the Druids should see you right.
