Overview

  • Ubisoft released Title Update 1.8.0 as a free patch on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC with download sizes that vary by platform.
  • New Game+ is now available after completing the Holy Day quest in Hamtunscire and lets players restart with their progress while each subsequent run increases the game’s difficulty.
  • A new resource called Mithril is introduced to enable higher upgrades and the maximum level for Divine gear rises from 13 to 27 so players can push gear power further.
  • The Rune Forge gains a new Superior tier and more than 300 engravable runes for wider perk combinations, and Ravensthorpe now includes a Stash to store spare gear and runes.
  • The update also adds two achievements, balance and quality‑of‑life tweaks, and PS5 Pro PSSR 2 support to sharpen 4K visuals at 60 FPS, a move that may renew long‑time players’ interest in replaying Valhalla.
