The latest installment in the historical sci-fi franchise casts players as Eivor, a Viking warrior who leads their people on a brutal expansion into the British Isles. The Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Discovery Tour released last year as an additional game mode, but now gamers and educators alike can purchase the tour separately.

Discovery Tour: Viking Age is available as a free update for those who own Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and it became available as a standalone PC title last year. While other platforms were initially left out, the Discovery Tour: Viking Age mode can now be purchased separately on consoles and Google Stadia too.
