The most important new features of Patch 1.3.0
– Patch 1.3.0 will be released on 27 July at 14:00. Depending on the platform you choose, you will need to allow a little time for the download, as it will weigh quite a bit. You can find the exact details below, but here are the most exciting new features.
– Siege of Paris: The second big DLC finally has a release date – it starts on 12 August. The patch already prepares the game for it, but you will need an additional download later on
– Sigrblot Festival: From 29 July to 19 August, you can participate in new festival activities and earn exclusive rewards, including one-handed swords. However, to access the festival you must have already reached England, completed one of the first two story chapters and brought your settlement to level 2.

In addition, there are new skills that Eivor can learn:
– Light Fingered: Nearby Loot is now automatically collected.
– Thrill of War: As long as you are in combat, you will automatically generate adrenaline.
– Heidrun Slam: While sprinting, press a button to slam your knee into your opponent’s face.
– Idunn’s Heart: Passive regeneration of recently lost life energy after a short delay.
– Survival Instinct: When you have less than a third of life energy, you can use adrenaline for a short healing.
– Wolf Warrior: Your damage increases the less life you have.
