Summer has begun in Assassin’s Creed® Valhalla with the Sigrblot Festival, which is free for all players. This limited-time event ignites Ravensthorpe starting July 29 with new activities, quests, and rewards. To train for the raiding season, the one-handed sword makes its debut! Players will also receive 50 free Opals to celebrate the start of the season. Read on to gain favour from the gods and prepare for the ultimate test of war, The Siege of Paris.


SIGRBLOT FESTIVAL

ACK 152 Season03 Ambiance 960x540

Raiding season is almost here! Rivers are high, clearing paths for new arrivals to Ravensthorpe. During the Sigrblot Festival, a limited-time event available from July 29 to August 19, fires blaze and forges glow, adding to the heat and lust for battle. Training, preparation, and sacrifice are essential but they’re worth the rewards. Whether you raid England or prepare to invade Francia, the gods will be on your side!

Important Note: Players must reach England, complete one of the first two narrative arcs (Grantebridgescire or Ledecestrescire), and be at least Settlement Level 2 to participate in the Sigrblot Festival.


OPALS & ONE-HANDED SWORDS

We’re also fanning the flames of your arsenal with the highly anticipated community request, one-handed swords! Get a taste of the sizzle by participating in the Test Your Metal activity and exchange hard-won festival tokens at Norvid’s shop for one of your very own!


ACTIVITIES

Ravensthorpe abounds with travelers and new settlers looking for a taste of battle. In preparation, three new replayable activities are available during the Sigrblot Festival: Test Your Metal, War Games, and Fight or Flyte.

In Test Your Metal, players can hone their skills using a variety of weapons in brawl-like matches. Equip armor and rations of your choice to fight alongside your Jomsviking in this friendly tournament. The choice of weaponry is limited, but up to you: dual daggers, dual shields, or the one-handed sword!

Orlog! In War Games, Alwin brings his Orlog set to challenge Eivor during the festivities, so gather your gods.

Fancy yourself a flyter? Hold a battle of wits with Ake in Fight or Flyte and double your bet with festival tokens. Test your might and see how you do!

Complete activities to earn tokens, which are redeemable for exclusive rewards at the festival shop.
