Starting from the 17th December and lasting until the 7th January, the Yule Festival is the first wave of 'seasonal content' in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. You'll need to have completed at least one England story arc in order to access it.
It all sounds rather festive and cosy. Ravensthorpe — your settlement — has been expanded to house revellers and new activities. You can apparently take part in drunken fights, archery competitions, and more. Doing so will net you appropriately named 'Yule Tokens', which can be exchanged for exclusive rewards and loot.
This is what you can buy:
- Mōdraniht Ceremonial Outfit
- Mōdraniht Tattoo Set
- Mōdraniht Ceremonial Seax
- Mōdraniht Ceremonial Shield
- Traditional Yule Garland
- Sacrificial Altar
- Ritual Tree Ornaments
- Cozy Fire Pit
- Yule Beech Tree
As with the Yule Festival itself, these rewards will only be available for a limited time, so you've got no choice but to jump into Valhalla over the holidays if you want to nab it all.
Will you be booting up Assassin's Creed Valhalla for this update? Wrap up warm in the comments section below.

I love seasonal events like this in Monster Hunter. Bit odd to do in a single player game, but why not, I'll give it a go!
I like the look of the settlement, but the extra quests were nothing terrific.
The 2 one-time quests were a little buggy, telling me the objective marker was on the other side of England, and then snapping back to where they actually were as I moved along.
Overall, it's a cool little addition to the game.
Are any of the rewards actually useful, or are they all cosmetic? This game feels like a delivery system for viking cosmetic items already, the last thing I want is more.
I don't know. Maybe I'll get AC:Val for xmas, but have just started Van Helsing 3... I think AC will wait. By the way this "seasons" are rather disturbing in game. I like to choose not to have season content in game.
@JapaneseSonic Yeah, it tried to tell me to take it to the far West of England, so I just followed the road out of the camp and eventually it figured out Ake was waiting near a boat nearby. 😂
Just came here to say this quest bugged out on me. Looks like I'm not alone
Except it didn't snap into place for me - I even checked out the location, the marker seems to be some 250m under the ground.
edit: I also found some birds flying under water while at it. Cool stuff
@Voltan viking penguins?
I am kind of loving this. I have always wanted some holiday seasonal content in an Assassin's Creed game. This is the perfect game for it
Can't even get the yule festival to start for me, have the quest zero markers, went around ravensthorpe fast travelled out came back, quit game etc no joy.
I like the idea of seasonal events like this, but there are many people who are going to buy and play this game in a year’s time, or even later. If this is just a one-off, then it’s a shame that content like this will possibly be missed by a large number of people. As it is only a single player game, perhaps the content can be added in on an annual basis without much need for updating or improvement? Can the seasonal content simply not “appear” based on the system clock (Nights into Dreams-style), if it is downloaded and patched into the game?
It’s a disappointing scenario that gamers are missing out on timed-content in single player experiences simply because they didn’t purchase the game at release, but that’s how it works, so hey ho ho ho.
My god would love 2 see a pole done 2 see who people believe bring out bugger games ubi or bethesda haha I finally was able 2 claim my ps5 version only for my small resource pack 2 have disappeared and a seasonal content drop that all the quests are bugging out after all the messing about ubi dint even offer UK owners 1 helix point at least fo76 tried 2 pay ppl off (tho ya couldn't afford BLUE!) according 2 angry Joe lmao 😂😂
