Assassin’s Creed Valhalla – Are You Ready?

You know it’s going to be a good week when it means that Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will finally launch. The game is primed for release on Tuesday, November 10th and we’ve got all the information you can possibly need in order to be ready to start your conquest of England.

Pre-load & Official Release Time

Those dying to play Valhalla as soon as they possibly will definitely want to get the game preloaded, something that is now available. All that is needed is for players to fire up their favorite game client (Steam, Epic Games, etc.) or head to their console game list to get started. The game weighs in at a slim 45GB so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for anyone.

Once preloaded, it’s then a matter of waiting for the virtual gates to swing open. Luckily, Ubi has provided this handy dandy graphic to help players know when to start mashing the PLAY button.

About Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Become Eivor, a mighty Viking raider and lead your clan from the harsh shores of Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England. Explore a beautiful, mysterious open world where you’ll face brutal enemies, raid fortresses, build your clan’s new settlement, and forge alliances to win glory and earn a place in Valhalla.

England in the age of the Vikings is a fractured nation of petty lords and warring kingdoms. Beneath the chaos lies a rich and untamed land waiting for a new conqueror. Will it be you?
