Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is all set to receive its third expansion pack titled Dawn of Ragnarok. Following two popular expansions, the Wrath of the Druids and The Siege of Paris, Dawn of Ragnarok will be the most ambitious expansion by Ubisoft in the franchise's history.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok will include some of the most powerful Norse gods that will feature in the game for the first time. Each of these gods plays an intrinsic role in making the storyline and gameplay of the upcoming DLC expansion more compelling.

Dawn of Ragnarok oversees Eivor playing the role of Odin, the Norse god of Battle and Wisdom, and will face other Norse gods during his Asgardian quest including Thor, Fenrir and others. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla's latest expansion will feature Odin and his son Baldr, the Aesir Norse gods, who will enter the mythical dwarven realm of Svartalfheim.

The other Norse characters are the two powerful Jotunn giants known as Surtr and Sinmara, who will try to maintain their control over the dwarven realm.

In Norse mythology, Baldr (also spelled Baldur) was referred to as the god of light, prophecy, peace, innocence, and purity. As one of the sons of Odin and an Aesir Norse god himself, Baldr was first featured in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In the Ragnarok expansion, Baldr is portrayed as a weak and vulnerable prisoner of Surtr, and his father must embark on a desperate quest to rescue his son.

According to Norse mythology, Odin, also known as the All-Father, is the ultimate ruler of Aesir and is the king of all Norse gods. At Dawn of Ragnarok, Odin will encounter Jotnars, foes of ice from Jotunheim and Muspels, which are new enemies of fire from Muspelheim. His sole objective is to save his son,
