Update:Yup, it’sofficial.

Later today, Ubisoft will announce something new forAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. They’re not yet saying what it is but because Ubisoft either can’t or won’t keep a secret, leaks have sprung up. According to supposed screenshots and store info, it’s an expansion named Dawn Of Ragnarok with a lot of fantasy fanciness, journeying into Norse legend with Odin and dwarves and giants and that.

According toa Reddit post, a store listing for Dawn Of Ragnarok leaked early in Chinese stores. That name has been expected after fans found achievements for it in data files. Along with screenshots (which I’ll not include here, to ward off Ubisoft’s lawyers), the page had a description someone ran through Google Translate:

Few wonky names and weird phrasings from the machine translation but yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is real. AC Odyssey took Kassandra to the Elysian Fields to meetalluringly tall goddesseslike Persephone and Hekate, after all.

Supposedly the expansion is due to launch on the 10th of March, 2022. Ubisoft’s official announcement will come today at 5pm (9am Pacific) so we should soon found out whether it’s true or not. Given how much Ubisoft leak, yep, I expect it to be.

Talking about their plans to continue supporting Valhalla, Ubisoft recentlyannouncedthat this week they’re releasing a big patch—a huge patch. It’s 78GB because you’ll need to download the entire game again following a data restructuring, though that will bring the benefits of improved performance and taking up less drive space.

I do dread the possibility that Ubisoft might be planning NFTs, as they were with Ghost Recon Breakpoint. They quicklyhid that trailerafter everyone pointed out that it sucks, though I wouldn’t take that to mean they changed their mind. Tech can’t resist lousy NFTs.
