Why GameStop is Excited to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Three Different Special Editions
Holding true to previous installments in this series, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is launching with a variety of add-on content, and much of it can be obtained on day one through special editions. The most exciting of which is the Ultimate Edition Steelbook that includes the game, a Season Pass for more content, and the Ultimate Pack (which you can read about below). This edition features a unique steelbook case to hold your game disc. There’s also a Gold Edition Steelbook that just comes with the Season Pass and steelbook. And if you don’t need the unique case, you can get the Ultimate Edition, which comes with the Season Pass and Ultimate Pack.
The Ultimate Pack
Strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, dominate raids and rivers with the set of items included in the Ultimate Pack:
- The Berserker Gear Pack includes the Bearded Axe, the Ursine Guard Light Shield, a new skin for your Raven, the ferocious Hati Wolf Mount and the Berserker Set for Eivor.
- The Berserker Longship Pack includes a majestic Longship which comes with a unique figurehead and a set of new sails.
- The Berserker Settlement Pack includes new ways to customize your settlement in England.
- A Set of Runes to sharpen the weapons or improve the gear of your choice.
A release date has yet to be announced for the new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but you can be sure GameStop will be the first to let you know when a release date has been announced.
From the Desk of Game Informer
The Dark Ages in England were a time of war, political intrigue, and uncertain alliances. Those elements are a great combination for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, and Valhalla lets players experience this era as a dual-wielding Viking hero named Eivor.
Eivor (who can be either male or female) leads a clan of Vikings out of Norway, then sails to England to find a new home. Valhalla aims to mix new concepts with twists on old Assassin’s Creed favorites, like building a settlement for your clan and carrying out raids along the coast with your longship. Along the way, you recruit allies, engage in brutal battles, and play a part in the ongoing war between two ancient factions.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Origins and Black Flag. The team has proven talent with rich historical settings, fun naval warfare, and satisfying RPG mechanics. If all of that expertise comes together, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla could provide the definitive interactive Viking experience.
