Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players can look forward to free seasonal content every three months, starting with this month’s Yule Festival (via Ubisoft).

Eivor’s settlement, Ravensthorpe, is now covered in snow and Yuletide decorations. Players can also take part in various quests that involve singing, drinking, contests, and more drinking.

YULE FESTIVAL

The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Yule Festival will take place from 17 December 17 2020 to 7 January 2021, with many festivities to enjoy and rewards to garner.

During the Yuletide celebration, players can expect to get entangled with various festivities ranging from drunk brawls (yes, you read that right), archery challenges, and more.

Partaking in said festivities will get you Yule Tokens to redeem for some festive rewards at the Festival Shop.

• Mōdraniht Ceremonial Outfit
• Mōdraniht Tattoo Set
• Mōdraniht Ceremonial Seax
• Mōdraniht Ceremonial Shield
• Traditional Yule Garland
• Sacrificial Altar
• Ritual Tree Ornaments
• Cozy Fire Pit
• Yule Beech Tree

It’s important to note that the event will be accessible to players only after having completed one story arc (Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire) and do note that you will only be able to get the festival rewards during the Yule Festival window.

In addition, the Hel’s Damnation Theme is available via the Store, purchasable by Helix Credits.

If you’re looking to really impress, the Niflheim Theme will become available on 22 December 2020 in the Store as well.

Join the Yule Festival and capture your favourite photo or video for a chance to win The Art of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and 50 Euros-worth of Helix Credits. The contest will run from 17 December 2020 through 1 January 2021 on Twitter.

You can learn more about the contest, rules, and prizes in this Holiday Community Contest post.
