After multiple leaks, Ubisoft today announced Dawn of Ragnarök, the next major expansion hitting Assassin’s Creed Valhalla following Wrath of the Druids and Siege of Paris as the developer kicks off the game"s second year of support. At the same time, updates are hitting both Valhalla and the previous Assassin"s Creed entry Odyssey to offer a new crossover storyline.
Leaving behind the base game"s already light historical aspects, Dawn of Ragnarök jumps deep into the supernatural and mythological side of things. It will have players heading to the dwarven realm of Svartalfheim to take the role of Odin, the Norse god of Battle and Wisdom, in a mission to save the son of Odin, Baldr.
The Assassin"s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök expansion will cost a premium $39.99 price tag. Ubisoft states this will be a lengthy experience, the size of a complete game, coming in with around 35 hours of new content. It will release on March 10, and pre-orders are available now across PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
However, the Year Two announcements didn"t stop there.
Filed under the new Assassin’s Creed Crossover Stories brand, implying there will be more, there"s a new crossover brewing that sees Assassin"s Creed Odyssey protagonists Kassandra or Alexios joining up with Assassin"s Creed Valhalla"s Eivor for a series of new adventures.
Keep in mind however that the updates will be split between the two games, so players will need to own both to see the full story. The free updates will hit Odyssey and Valhalla tomorrow, December 14.
