Next AC Valhalla update will force players to re-download the entire game

Ubisoft is rolling along on an impressive year of content as Assassin's Creed: Valhalla continues to provide exciting gameplay. The long-running franchise takes fans to the Viking age with an immersive experience that the game's developers continue to expand.

Constant updates have kept ACV players on their toes, with opportunity upon opportunity to unlock free exclusive rewards. The next title update will feature major data restructuring and will require somewhat extensive download times for most players.

Here's everything you need to know about the new AC Valhalla title update that will force players to re-download the entire game.

AC Valhalla Title Update 1.4.1 - data restructure

Just posted across Assassin's Creed social media, Title Update 1.4.1 will be coming to ACV servers next week (no hard date has yet been announced by Ubisoft). The update is centred around data restructure, and it's actually meant to support future content and updates, an exciting proposition.

In order to fully accommodate the title update, players will need to re-download the entire game, so try to plan your download time accordingly. The upcoming update consolidates the game files, resulting in a smaller overall game size on all platforms. Additionally, performance should improve resulting in faster loading times, improved world data streaming, and overall performance.

Note: Only the base game needs to be re-downloaded. Expansions and other DLC will not be affected by the restructuring.
