Today’s update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla adds a smattering of new skills, another slew of bug fixes, and the handy ability to switch off cinematic finishers.
Finishers are the exaggerated moves Eivor will regularly pull off when downing an enemy: hacking the necks of wolves, stabbing banner-holding enemies through with their own flagpole, suffocating goliaths until you hear their neck crack.
These are cool to watch at the start of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. More than 150 hours in, they’re an annoyance. I don’t need to watch Eivor wailing on a poor wolf just for me to complete a daily challenge. So I no longer will!
