Overview

• The expansion went live globally on September 16 and is available across platforms, with PS5 availability confirmed.
• Ubisoft estimates about ten hours of new play, and early reviews describe it as providing closure to threads left open in the base game.
• The DLC adds the Awaji Island map, introduces the Sanzoku Ippa enemy presence, expands skills and gear, and equips Naoe with a Bo staff, with a separate free Bo-staff quest available to all players.
• Access is gated behind late-game progress in Shadows, after which players begin the new questline by speaking with Konatsu at the Hideout.
• Pre-order owners receive the DLC at no extra cost, with one outlet reporting a $25 price for others, and the DLC lead says a smaller Bordeaux team adopted a focused scope following Valhalla’s expansion overload.
