It was rumoured earlier this month, and now it's been confirmed — Assassin's Creed Valhalla is getting "the most ambitious expansion in franchise history" on March 10th, 2022 in the form of Dawn of Ragnarök.
In the expansion, you'll "become the Norse god Odin as you embark on an epic journey through a realm of myth to save your son and in the face of the doom of the gods." It's supposedly around 35 hours in length (!), and features a map that's one third the size of the base game's England (thanks Eurogamer).
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök (Microsoft Store) - £32.99 / $39.99
"In a stunning world of Norse Myth, invaders of frost and flame threaten the fate of the Nine Realms. The dwarven kingdom of Svartalfheim is crumbling, and amidst the chaos, Odin’s beloved son, Baldr, has been taken prisoner by the immortal fire giant, Surtr."
"Eivor must embrace their destiny as Odin, the Norse god of Battle and Wisdom. Unleash new divine powers as you embark on a desperate quest through a breathtaking world. Complete a legendary Viking saga and save your son in the face of the gods’ doom."
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök is available to pre-order starting today, coming in at £32.99 / $39.99. You also get immediate access to The Twilight Pack, featuring a gear set, a mount skin and a raven skin.
Based on what we can see so far, it doesn't appear to be part of the AC Valhalla Season Pass.
Better yet, both Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Assassin's Creed Odyssey are also getting a free quest each on Tuesday (December 14th), in which Eivor will meet with Kassandra in Valhalla, and Kassandra will seek a "mystical treasure" in Odyssey. You can watch the trailer for these down below.
"Discover two new islands, get exclusive rewards and expand your Assassin's Creed experience with Assassin’s Creed Crossover Stories!"

For the size of the game and the price it could of been a standalone game
Trailer made it look very Shadow of Mordor-ish with the resurrection and ethereal bow. Definitely need to see gameplay before buying but it seems like a good evolution for the game.
35 hours is undeniably substantial.
@Medic_Alert You're waiting on the same edition as me. Got Odyssey in my backlog and will be a while before I give that a spin after just finishing Origins.
'Kassandra will seek a "mystical treasure" in Odyssey.' does that mean the quest is only available if you choose to play as Kassandra ?
And... Purchased!
Have they managed to un-mess this game by now?
@Would_you_kindly Probably not. I’m sure they only wrote Kassandra because she’s the canon main character.
@JoakimZ I chose Kassandra anyway but that would mean people who chose alexios would have to restart the game & choose Kassandra if they wanted to play this quest
It's hard to fault the price given how much content you get, which is essentially another game, but at the same time I'll still likely wait on it to go on sale. I'll have plenty to play around this time too anyways, like Horizon Forbidden West and Forspoken on my PS5 and then whatever I'm also going to play around then on my Series X.
I'm happy they are releasing this though. There was talk that this was going to be it's own game before they decided to just lump it into Valhalla, but just treating it as DLC, it's about time Valhalla got something really substantial that's on the level of Odyssey's Fate of Atlantis DLC.
@Would_you_kindly I meant that it probably DOES NOT mean that only Kassandra gets the quest, it would be very strange if it was so. 😅
Kassandra is the canon main character, and I think that is the reason why they chose to have her name in the description of the DLC, but I absolutely think that Alexios will also get the quest.
@JoakimZ ohh sorry lol just sounds like it's only for people that chose Kassandra because of how they've worded it
@Medic_Alert I doubt there will be any compiled edition, at least not if you are waiting for a physical one. Digital, UBisoft is known to make constant crazy sales, but unless they change their pattern, you are best off buying the Gold Edition sales (those are a bit rarer but happen) and, assuming this is not getting additional season passes, just wait till this one drops to a third of its launch price.
When this drops, physically ot digitally, with all the previous content, I'll probably...😶.. who am I kidding, I'll probably wait for it to go on sale, still. Too many games to play, but this does look interesting.
This looks awesome. I heard rumors that its going to play from a god of war style camera angle, I wonder if thats true? Definitely want to see some gameplay!
