Ubisoft finally unveiled the next mainline entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Dubbed Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the new open-world adventure will transport players to the Viking Age. In addition to releasing on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Valhalla will be available on both next-gen consoles: PS5 and Xbox Series X. This means Valhalla will be playable on a whopping six platforms (including Stadia). As an Assassin’s Creed game, you can bet Valhalla has multiple special editions to choose from when pre-ordering. All four editions are available to pre-order now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set in the ninth century in a period of turmoil for the Vikings. You play as Eivor, a Viking raider who leads their clan away from the war-torn homeland of Norway on an adventure to England. Eivor can be played as male or female, and Ubisoft promises its combat will take cues from Viking fighting styles, with a reworked combat system that includes dual-wielding and more enemy variety. Like recent iterations of the franchise, Valhalla will have a season pass that grants access to post-launch DLC.
Valhalla will release this holiday on PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, The Epic Game Store, Uplay and Uplay+, and Stadia. So far, we’ve only seen pre-order listings for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions of the game. It seems likely that those looking to pre-order on Xbox Series X or PS5 may have to wait longer to lock in their pre-order. Xbox users, however, will be able to buy one copy of Valhalla to play on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. We’ll update this article with more pre-order links and pricing when those become available.
For more on the next entry in the Ubisoft franchise, check out our roundup of everything we know about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla so far. GameSpot spoke with Valhalla narrative designer Derby McDevitt about the highly anticipated game, too. We learned Valhalla will connect to both Origins and Odyssey, and the storytelling will lean on a different structure than fans have become accustomed to. If you’re getting God of War vibes from Valhalla thanks to the Norse gods, McDevitt said Ubisoft’s take on Norse mythology will be more grounded.
