Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Free Discovery Tour Mode Is Now Live

Discovery Tour: Viking Age, an educational mode that takes players through historical locations and events in the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is now live as a free update for those who already own the latest installment in the franchise. 

For those who don’t own Valhalla but are interested in checking out Discovery Tour, the mode can be purchased as a standalone experience on PC for $20 via either the Ubisoft Connect storefront or the Epic Games Store. Ubisoft has announced that stand-alone console versions will soon be released. 

Valhalla’s Discovery Tour differs from the tours seen in Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey in that they’re more narrative-focused than ever before, complete with quests to complete as you journey through Viking-controlled England, as noted by GameSpot 

“[Discovery Tour: Viking Age] takes a new approach to how players explore history: instead of embarking on guided tours, they will assume the roles of different characters and take on quests, which aim to bring them closer to the material by putting them at the center of it,” a Ubisoft Blog Post about ModeIt reads. “While following the narrative and completing the quests’ objectives, Discovery Tour: Viking Age players will have the opportunity to interact with Discovery Sites that each focus on an element of the culture and traditions of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons in the Viking Age.” 

Ubisoft states that the Discovery Sites are populated with images taken by the museum partners it worked with in order to provide historical and archaeological accuracy for Valhalla, and the Discovery Tour mode. 

Download the latest Valhalla update if you have Valhalla. You will be able to access Discovery Tour: Viking Age for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
