A pattern that we’re likely to see for all major third=party releases this winter. Xbox One and PS4 don’t miss out, though, with all current devices (bar the Switch obviously) receiving the game.
The game is also one of only a handful announced to be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X – with Microsoft’s console and logo taking the marketing lead on the announcement trailer. Today’s unveiling makes Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla the first mainline entry in the franchise to not be available on Steam at launch. Ubisoft said last year that it would launch more titles in collaboration with Epic, but those titles were unannounced. The decision follows the same strategy with The Division 2.
The latest game will not be available on Steam however, with Ubisoft choosing to partner exclusively with Epic Game Store for the release of its franchise title for 2020 – it will also be available on Uplay of course and via the Uplay+ subscription service. Ubisoft today announced the latest Assassin’s Creed title: Valhalla.
