Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the next entry in the long-running Assassin's Creed series, will take players to the Viking Age. Recent mainline entries in the franchise have been available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but with the PS5 and Xbox Series X joining the fray this holiday, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be playable on a whopping six platforms (including Stadia). Additionally, Valhalla will have four editions to choose from when it releases this holiday. Some editions are available to pre-order now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Assassin's Creed Valhalla is set in the ninth century in a period of turmoil for the Vikings. You play as Eivor, a Viking raider who leads their clan away from the war-torn homeland of Norway on an adventure to England. Eivor can be played as male or female, and Ubisoft promises that the combat will take cues from Viking fighting styles, with a reworked combat system that includes dual-wielding and more enemy variety. Like recent iterations of the franchise, Valhalla will have a season pass that grants access to post-launch DLC. Pricing and pre-order listings are gradually trickling in for all four editions. Valhalla will release this holiday on PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, PC (Epic Games Store exclusive), Uplay+, and Stadia. So far, we've only seen pre-order listings for the Xbox One, PS4, and PC versions of the game. It seems likely that those looking to pre-order on Xbox Series X or PS5 may have to wait longer to lock in their pre-order. Xbox users, however, will be able to buy one copy of Valhalla to play on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. We'll update this article with more pre-order links and pricing when those become available.
