The Assassin’s Creed Valhalla release date has potentially leaked online, with a Reddit user providing images of a store listing for the game that reveals an October 16, 2020 date. This is a Friday, which ties in with previous Assassin’s Creed titles, as they also launched on a Friday.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Release Date
Obviously you should take this with a pinch of salt for the time being, as for now Ubisoft has only confirmed a holiday 2020 window. If the leak is the real deal, then it most likely pertains to the PS4, PC, and Xbox One versions of the game, as PS5 and Xbox Series X are unlikely to have shipped at that point.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is in development for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One. The game is set during the 9th century in England’s Dark Ages, and sees players controlling a Viking warrior as they attempt to expand their settlement and influence across Norway and the UK.
Ubisoft confirmed that the ruins of Stonehenge can be visited in the game, suggesting the map is quite expansive.
The first gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be unveiled during Thursday’s Inside Xbox 2020 event, so stay tuned for more details.
