Assassin's Creed Valhalla to finally get level scaling feature eight months after launch

Ubisoft's latest entry to the Assassin's Creed franchise, Valhalla, has been getting a lot of post-launch love from its developers. Following the release of the first post-launch DLC "Wrath of the Druids," Ubisoft will be releasing an update next week with a much-requested feature. Level scaling will soon be a part of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, allowing players to choose exactly how they want to play and progress through the game. The news was confirmed by Ubisoft's official Assassin's Creed handle on Twitter today.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla to get level scaling option in next week's update

Packaged as part of the July 27th update for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Level Scaling will have a profound impact on how the game is played. Ubisoft's official description for level scaling is as follows:

"Allows choosing the level of scaling for territory and enemies to provide more balanced or challenging experience. For those who want to feel the evolution of their character and crush their enemies, scaling is turned off, enemies spawn exactly as prescribed in the region description."

What this essentially means is that players can choose to allow enemies to adapt their HP and strength based off of their own progression. This now means that traveling through a low-level area won't be easy, as the enemies will now match the player's stats to make for a tougher experience.

Players have five choices when it comes to level scaling:

• Default
• Off
• Constant
• Harder
• Nightmarish
