Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla presents the saga of Eivor, a legendary Viking leader who left Norway in the 9th century AD due to wars and increasingly scarce resources.

Political alliances, combat decisions, and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and players must choose their paths wisely to protect the future of their clan.
Another new feature coming to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is Dawn of Ragnarok, the game’s next major expansion. Launching on March 10th, the new content will be playable by anyone who already owns the base game and will be available for sale in three ways: as a standalone product, as part of the Ragnarok edition, which includes the base game, and Complete digital edition, which offers the base game, the season pass and the Ultimate Content pack.
