Ubisoft’s official patch notes confirm all the big bug fixes contained in update 1.5 but also provide plenty on what’s coming next. A lot of the juiciest details are saved for the Dawn of Ragnorak, with the notes confirming that Eivor will embrace their destiny as Odin, the Norse god of Battle and Wisdom.
This will mean unleashing new divine powers during your quest in the world of Svartalfheim, including shape-shifting into a raven for spectacular assassinations or resurrecting your defeated foes to fight on your side. Ubisoft has also confirmed that new players can start the expansion at any time from the main menu with a player boost, placing you at Level 340 with a predefined selection of gear and weapons.
