As for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, paid downloadable content (DLC) will be introduced to add a character and weapons pack for the game. The character pack adds “armor sets, swords, a scout skin and a mount skin,” while the weapons pack brings “four unique spins on Destiny’s iconic subclasses, each with their own gameplay perks and custom effects.”

For both Destiny 2 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the updates are planned to launch on December 6 – which is when the update for Destiny 2, patch 6.3.0, is planned for. In this blog, Bungie outlines that Destiny 2 will be briefly taken offline during the morning to implement the patch, and December 6 is the last day players will need to unlock this season’s rewards by.

As for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft recently announced that the game’s post-launch updates are coming to an end on December 6 – making this Destiny 2 crossover part of Valhalla’s last update.

“On December 6, we will be releasing our final content update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, wrapping up two amazing years of post-launch support,” shared Ubisoft.

The game’s final update will also bring one more expansion, titled The Last Chapter. The expansion will consist of a free quest arc that “nicely ties up some of the storylines established through the game,” and offers protagonist Eivor a chance to explore “distant shores and new adventures.”
