Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is full of close-ups on gory, Viking violence, but after the game’s latest patch, it doesn’t have to be. In a patch released on Monday, Ubisoft gave players the option to turn off the cinematic camera for finishing moves.
Valhalla’s cinematic camera zooms in extra-close for certain special finishing moves in the game. That means, if you’re winning a fight and about to chop off your opponents hands, head, or leg, the game gives you a nice, close-up view of the grisly details.
Of course, the game already gave players the option to turn off gore so it didn’t have to be so bloody. But the finishing-move camera could get a bit tiresome after seeing the same animation for the 40th time. So it’s nice to be able to save some time and avoid them.

The next Assassin s Creed Valhalla update will deploy on the 27th April (that s tomorrow at the time of writing). Patch 1.2.1 aims to fix a bunch of bugs ahead of the game s first expansion, Wrath of the Druids. But it s not all minor improvements there are a couple of neat little additions that existing players should enjoy.
For starters, three new skills are being added to the game: Cold Rage, Eye of the North, and Intense Rage (more info in the patch notes below). On top of that, there ll be a new option to disable the cinematic camera that comes with performing finishing moves. This is something that fans have been asking for since Valhalla released last year, and it s a welcome change. The argument is that the cinematic camera happens too often, and it has a tendency to bug out every now and then.
