To access the Ostara Festival, you only need to reach England and complete one of the first narrative arcs in Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire.
As for Wrath of the Druids, players will be heading to Ireland to unravel the mysteries of an ancient and mysterious druidic cult while tracking them down and discovering their members. The new story content will focus on Gaelic myths and folklore, so you’ll be fighting your way through haunted forests and dazzling landscapes while working to gain the influence of Gaelic Kings.
The Wrath of the Druids expansion can be purchased as a stand-alone for $24.99, though it is free for those who have purchased the Season Pass ($39.99) or who purchased the Valhalla Gold, Ultimate, and Collector’s Editions.
You can find the official description for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla below.
“Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in ninth century AD, players will lead Eivor’s clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms. Players must carve out a new future for their clan, reliving the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped combat system that includes the ability to dual-wield weapons against a greater variety of enemies than ever before. To secure resources, players can lead raids to select locations using their longship to earn much-needed riches and supplies. As the Vikings begin to settle in their new home, they encounter resistance from the Saxons, including King Aelfred of Wessex, who denounces them as heathens and looks to be the sole ruler of a civilized England. Against all odds, Eivor must do what is necessary to keep Valhalla within reach.”
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available now on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox Series X, PS5, Stadia, and Luna.
