Assassin's Creed Valhalla fans are currently set to get their next look at the game tomorrow at Ubisoft Forward, and there's a lot to likely look forward to. However, Ubisoft has always been known for its leaks and this year is no different. The recent Far Cry 6 leaks make that seemingly apparent, but now another leak has revealed the AC Valhalla's release date: November 17, 2020.
Since Assassin's Creed Valhalla's reveal, fans have been guessing at the release date and looking for clues. This has ranged from retail listings to the Leif Erikson Day, but the latest has the most backing. It comes straight from the horse's mouth. Assassin's Creed's Italian Instagram posted a video that showed a little of the game but focused more on the game's release date. Of course, this was quickly taken down but not before someone managed to capture it on their phone, and in promotion of the Xbox One, it showcased the aforementioned November release date.
Of course, this immediately begs the question of its other platforms. It's a sure thing that Assassin's Creed Valhalla releases at the same time for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Stadia is more questionable but likely at the same time, yet since the PS5 and Xbox Series X don't have release dates so far, many may wonder if this means they'll release before November 17. It is a cross-gen after all, but close inspection of the video suggests the next-gen version may release on another date.
Below the Xbox One release date, the video reads, "in arrivo anche per Xbox Series X." This translates as "also coming to Xbox Series X," which doesn't necessarily negate the possibility of the November 17 release date, but it does open the field a bit more with plausible deniability. It would make sense for the game to release slightly later for next-gen consoles, as was the case with Assassin's Creed Black Flag and the PS3/Xbox 360 to PS4/Xbox One jump, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Ubisoft has had quite a few leaks as of late, but with Ubisoft Forward taking place tomorrow, there's not much more time for more to leak. Either way, with the timing of this video, it seems like a safe bet that fans will see an official confirmation of the release date during the presentation.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla seemingly releases November 17, 2020, for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X vesions are also in development.
