Today, during the Ubisoft Forward digital conference, Ubisoft announced that the next installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, will release worldwide November 17, 2020, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on UPLAY+, the Ubisoft subscription service and Stadia.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla will also release on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 upon the launch of the consoles. Players who purchase Assassin's Creed Valhalla on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will be able to upgrade their game to the next-gen version (Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5) at no additional cost. Brand-new gameplay shown at the digital conference illustrates new features that players can enjoy, including dual-wielding, raiding, assaults and open world activities. Raids will be more action-packed and brutal than anything Assassin's Creed has seen before, with players able to take advantage of a new visceral combat system that lets players bash, dismember and decapitate foes. Eivor will be able to dual-wield axes, swords and even shields against the greatest variety of enemy types ever seen in an Assassin's Creed. Additionally, the return of the Hidden Blade allows Eivor to assassinate targets with deadly precision.



Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an ambitious action role-playing game that places player choice and exploration at the center of the experience. Throughout the world, players will encounter gameplay challenges, unique and surprising characters with unforgettable stories and a variety of breathtaking landscapes to set foot on. Players will have the ability to customize their character's hair, tattoos, war paint, weapons and gear, in addition to the option of switching between male or female Eivor at any time. Political alliances, combat decisions and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, so players must choose wisely to protect their clan's home and future.

The official Assassin's Creed Valhalla soundtrack and books are also now available for pre-order, including a novel, comic and art book:
  • On July 17, a seven-song EP taken from the official soundtrack featuring original compositions from Jesper Kyd and Sarah Schachner as well as an original song by Einar Selvik, will be available to listen to on Spotify and purchase on iTunes. Spotify pre-save and iTunes pre-order are available now and the full soundtrack will be released at a later date.
  • The Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Geirmund's Saga novel, written by Matthew J. Kirby, will tell an original story set in the world of the game. Players will discover the epic tale of Geirmund Hellskin, a man determined to prove his worth as a Viking and a warrior who joins the ranks of King Guthrum's army to participate in the invasion of England. The book cover will be revealed on renowned Korean artist Jung Gi Kim's Instagram account in late July.
  • Dark Horse Comics will release Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Song of Glory, a comic series written by Cavan Scott, illustrated by Martin Tunica and colored by Michael Atiyeh. In this prequel to the game, fearless Vikings Eivor and Sigurd embark on separate adventures to show their mettle and seek glory. Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Song of Glory #1 (of three) will be in comic shops on October 21, 2020.
  • Finally, The Art of Assassin's Creed Valhalla and The Art of Assassin's Creed Valhalla Deluxe Edition will invite readers on a visual journey through the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla - a world defined by the harsh beauty of Viking life, rich with fascinating characters and breathtaking landscapes. This book offers an enticing collection of art and commentary that is sure to attract returning fans and newcomers alike.
With development led by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin's Creed Valhalla follows the epic saga of Eivor, a fierce Viking raider raised on tales of battle and glory. Offering a captivating Viking experience, the game brings players to a beautiful and mysterious open world set against the brutal backdrop of England's Dark Ages. Players can take advantage of new features, including raids, growing their settlements and building their power in a quest to earn a place among the gods in Valhalla. The Gold, Ultimate and Collector's Editions of Assassin's Creed Valhalla as well as Ubicollectibles products are available for pre-order. Fans who pre-order Assassin's Creed Valhalla will receive The Way of the Berserker bonus mission at launch, in which players will join a legendary Norse Berserker on his quest for revenge.

I know its not there fault, but launching 2 days before cyberpunk kind of sucks, hopefully they find something to delay the game a month or something so they don't have to compete with cyberpunk

I have to agree. A better release date would be about December 15th. Otherwise sales numbers will be low. You’d think Ubi understands this by now?

Having just finished Odyssey, which I thought was great (the Atlantis DLC was a standout), I was looking forward to Valhalla, but like you guys said, that's a terrible release date. Most of us have limited time and I'll definitely choose Cyberpunk over Valhalla.
