Assassin's Creed Valhalla received New Game Plus in a free November 5 update.
Another journey with stronger equipment
The mode opens after the Holy Day quest, with subsequent runs increasing difficulty. Equipment can reach level 27, previously 13. Mithril improves divine gear, and Ravensthorpe gains storage for equipment and runes. Ubisoft's gameplay overview also describes optional progression that counts upgrades, runes and masteries toward overall power. Lower-tier ingot chests instead provide Platinum during a New Game Plus run.
A separate improvement for PS5 Pro
On PlayStation Blog, Ubisoft discusses upgraded PSSR support specifically for PS5 Pro. Engineering Studio Manager Priscilla Nguyen describes improvements to image stability and upscaling, with the stated aim of a sharper 4K presentation at 60 frames per second. Those are the developer's claims, rather than results from an independent performance test.
The distinction is useful when deciding what to revisit. The progression features change how an established character develops; the Pro rendering work changes how the world is presented on that particular console. Returning players can therefore approach the patch through a saved campaign and their preferred difficulty, without treating every listed feature as a universal hardware upgrade. The two official posts explain these different parts of the same release.
