Ubisoft has admitted that some of the recent updates for Assassin's Creed Valhalla have not lived up to expectations, and it's changing its production pipeline in order to improve these in the future. That includes a longer development cycle for each update, as well as delaying the upcoming Wrath of the Druids expansion.

"Our community is at the heart of everything we do, and we always strive to provide you with great experiences," Ubisoft said. "That said, we recognize that some of our recent title updates may not have met your expectations or been up to our standards."

The development team explained that title updates, separate from smaller hotfix updates, are split into six stages: Issue Identification, Issue Reproduction, Fix Development, Internal Testing, Submission, and Deployment.
