If you thought you’d seen everything there was to know about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, prepare to reconsider. Thanks to the work of an enthusiast, Ubisoft’s game takes on a whole new graphic dimension. This is not a redesign signed by the publisher, but a 100% community creation, which offers the Viking RPG a visual aspect worthy of a next-gen remaster, with improved shaders, exceptional fluidity and a luxury of details rarely seen.
Behind this visual tour de force, we find Digital Dreamswell known for its ultra-extensive technical demonstrations. Their latest video shows Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in definition 8Kwith an RTX 5090 and a configuration that would make any gaming PC blush. The result is breathtaking: ultra-realistic reflections, refined textures, and light effects enhanced to the maximum.
An unofficial mod… but stunning
This unofficial remaster relies on the combined use of custom shaders and graphics packs from the community. Even if Digital Dreams has not yet specifically detailed the mods usedseveral elements suggest that they relied on the work of Awesome Modsan active modder on Nexus Mods.
One of the most compelling mods is called Enhanced Assassins Creed Valhallareleased recently, and whose screenshots are surprisingly close to those seen in the Digital Dreams video. The mod notably applies contrast enhancement, stronger saturation and better management of depth of field, for an almost cinematic rendering.
A configuration worthy of science fiction
The other side of the coin? To run this remaster in such conditions, you need a PC that is close to the price of a used car. RTX 5090 graphics card, overclocked processor, enormous RAM… nothing is left to chance.
Digital Dreams, true to form, listed its entire configuration in the description of its video. Suffice it to say that few users will actually be able to achieve this visual quality at home, but just seeing what is possible remains fascinating.
A busy wait while waiting for the official remasters
This community project did not happen by chance. Since the leak of a possible official remaster of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagfans are on the lookout for the slightest graphical improvement in the franchise. While waiting for an announcement from Ubisoft, this type of initiative offers a nice breath of fresh air to PC players. And if Ubisoft is slow to come, the community continues to raise the level with passion and talent.
