'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' update lets you turn off cinematic kill animations

If you've already logged dozens and maybe even hundreds of hours in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft is adding a handy feature to save you some time moving forward. With Valhalla's latest 1.2.1 update, available today on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Stadia and Amzona Luna, the studio is introducing a toggle that allows you to turn off the short cinematic animations that play when your character executes a finisher (via Kotaku). Each animation is only a couple of seconds long, but when you add up all the takedowns you complete in Valhalla, you up spending a lot of time watching the same finishers over and over again. Assassin's Creed Valhalla Title Update 1.2.1 launches tomorrow: April 27. The update also adds three new skills to the game: Cold Rage, Eye of the North and Intense Rage.
