Removing achievements altogether in favor of challenges is a really, really dumb move considering they have both been around side by side for some time now. The challenges tab looks really unflattering and boring, and even with the XP rewards I don't feel motivated to complete them. At least the achievements tab always had icons and date of unlocking. So far I've lived in hopes that the new launcher overhaul might end up being a decent change but all this proves it was a big mistake.

Challenges can not replace achievements, not in this state at the very least. It's not acceptable that other platforms have completely different achievements/trophies. Please add the achievements to this game and if you really have to start omitting them: start with another game with an overhaul to the look of the challenges tab and make them the exact same as the achievements/trophies on other platforms.

In conclusion, it was a big mistake to start this new trend with such a big release as Valhalla, especially when customers were not aware of this change in advance.

The achievements will be added with update 1.1.1.

Well, I don't have a tab for achievements, if this overlay is what you mean. In addition, since this matter was discussed before, no notification of any kind pops up when I unlocked an achievement. I tried this out myself. The only reason I knew I had unlocked an achievement is because I checked the launcher's Achievements tab. Wasn't Legion released just a little before Ubisoft Connect launch? That might explain why it has achievements while Valhalla does not.
