This is what’s in Update 1.3.2

Discovery Tour in sight: This free DLC was already available in Origin and Odyssey. You can expect a virtual journey through the world and the historical setting, in this case through the areas that were inhabited and influenced by the Vikings in the 9th century. You can find out more here.

Difficulty levels: The settings should now be easier to find. Also updated the descriptions for the exploration difficulty level.

Skill Nodes: These skills were introduced together with the river raids. From now on they also have the intended influence on Eivor’s stats – what exactly was not calculated correctly before is not stated in the patch notes though.
