Free update for VALKYRIE ELYSIUM adds Hildeโs Vengeance, endgame content and more!
A major update has arrived for the fast-paced action RPG. Hereโs everything you need to know about it!
VALKYRIE ELYSIUM is getting bigger! A new update is available for the game today, adding a new game mode, new higher difficulty options and an awesome new endgame mode too!
Oh, and did we mention: itโs completely free!
The new update is available today, and it brings loads of new features to the fast-paced action adventure. Letโs take a closer look:
New content: Hildeโs Vengeance
If youโve played through VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, youโll be familiar with Hilde. This mysterious figure butts heads with the protagonist throughout the story - sheโs confident, cynical and thoroughly awesome.
Sheโs also the star of free additional content coming to the game! Called Hildeโs Vengeance, itโs accessible from the main menu and presents a whole new experience to play through.
You play as Hilde herself. Sheโs on a mission to exact her revenge on the All-Father Odin - and sheโll cut her way through any obstacles in her way. Or more accurately, you will.
Playing as Hilde has a different feel to the main campaign. Sheโs a very different kind of Valkyrie, with hard-hitting attacks, her signature halberd and a unique skill tree. She doesnโt have any Einherjar to bring into battle, but she does have four Shadow Servants, which can aid her in fights, as well as a wide selection of Divine Arts to equip.
Long story short, sheโs amazing fun to play as - for anyone craving more of that incredible combatโฆ enjoy!
Two new difficulty modes: VERY HARD and VALKYRIE
If youโve been playing the game since launch, you may have become a dab hand at smacking the undead around. So letโs raise the stakes!
VERY HARD is a new difficulty level that adds even more challenge to the game. Youโll have to use your skills and Einherjar carefully and exploit enemy weaknesses at every opportunity to make it through each battle unscathed.
But perhaps even thatโs not enough. If you have the spirit of a true Valkyrie (or youโre just a glutton for punishment), you can take on VALKYRIE mode. This is the truest test of your strategy, skills and reflexes - good luck!
The Seraphic Gate
So youโve finished the main campaign, and taken Hildeโs Vengeance to its dramatic conclusion - whatโs next? The Seraphic Gate awaits.
This new feature provides thrilling endgame content that will let you test your combat skills against waves of enemies - and against the clock.
Youโll ascend floor by floor, taking on different collections of foes, and some bosses with a fixed selection of skills, Einherjars, Divine Arts and items. Each time you move up a floor, your loadout will change - itโs up to you to work out how to use the tools at your disposal to triumph over each challenge.
This mode will test your understanding of enemies and their weaknesses, and your resource management - knowing when to pop a valuable item, or unleash a Divine Art is key!
Hilde's Vengeance and Seraphic Gate can be played after completing one of the multiple endings available in this game. Theyโre the ultimate challenge for any VALKYRIE ELYSIUM player - and a hugely entertaining way to round off your experience with the game. Good luck!
The free update for VALKYRIE ELYSIUM is available today for PS5 and PS4 players and will be automatically downloaded when you launch the game. It is directly included in the STEAM version, which launches Friday November 11, 2022!
