It looks like the developers noticed the lack of excitement about guided tours and deiced to change them entirely. According to a post, “For the newest opus in the series, the development team in Ubisoft Montreal has changed the formula to make the journey even more fun and informative by putting the narrative and storytelling at the heart of the experience,”.

To improve the way Discovery Tours worked, Ubisoft will add a new feature. This new feature will allow players to live the lives of various characters and take on quests.
This will be the second major update in consecutive months with the latest title update 1.3.1 releasing on September 7th, 2021. Just like 1.3.1, massive changes are expected to come out with the Viking Age tour.
If you already own a unit of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you’re all set. And if you are someone who just got enticed by the new Viking Tour, you’ll be looking to spend £16.99 (around $23), and the game is definitely worth it.
