Following the announcement of Assassin’s Creed Crossover Stories, developer and publisher Ubisoft shared the dev diary dedicated to the DLC, available as a free download for all Odyssey and Valhalla owners.
In Odyssey, the “Those Who Are Treasured” storyline will debut with Kassandra fighting boredom after 1,000 years of life. She is resting (literally) on her laurels drinking wine and gazing at the stars. However, when some old friends come to visit, she will set off on an adventure to hunt down a specific Isu artifact that has world-changing potential.
In Valhalla, the story is “A Fateful Encounter” where you guessed it: Kassandra and Eivor meet and their explosive tempers and egos come to the forefront. The two will duke it out before settling in to chat about “things”.
In addition to this first-ever Crossover Story, Ubisoft announced the massive Dawn of Ragnarok expansion that will be heading out the gate in Valhalla in 2022. According to the dev team, it features a whopping 35 hours of story content.
Developed by Ubisoft Sofia (the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Assassin’s Creed Origins – The Curse of the Pharaohs), Dawn of Ragnarök focuses entirely on Odin (aka Havi), and is set after the events of the Asgard and Jotunheim arcs found in the main campaign. This new adventure puts the one-eyed god on a journey to save their son, Baldr, held captive by the fire giant Surtr in the dwarven realm of Svartalfheim – a mythical new world about one-third the size of England. Under occupation from the fiery realm of Muspelheim (as well as icy Jotunheim), Svartalfheim has become a hostile, lava-filled landscape patrolled by flame-wielding enemies, some of whom can do things like revive their fallen comrades. To survive, Odin will need to find hidden Shelters across the world, and seek help from the dwarves who’ve taken refuge in them.
