Eivor can return to the story with previous progress: a free Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update added New Game+ on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, Ubisoft said on Xbox Wire on November 5.

Players must complete the Holy Day quest to start the mode. The developers say difficulty increases with each subsequent New Game+ run.

The update adds Mithril to upgrade divine gear. In New Game+, players can receive it when obtaining gear they already own or interacting with a Book of Knowledge already collected; it is also available in Nilfheim and specified shops.

The upgrade limit for each piece of gear rises from 13 to 27. Ravensthorpe gets a storage chest for gear and runes, and rune forging has been expanded. Designer David Larouche says several upgrades also work outside New Game+.
