Is it bad that nowadays that kind of scandal seems a little tame?
Like with all the different shit it could have been, my literal first thought was 'that's why he's stepping down? I mean yeah, his marriage is fucked but its not like its the sort of thing that would tank a project.

[Gokulo]

Yeah, it does really feel like this shouldn't be that much of a thing. I guess if his life is blowing up and he needs time to deal with that then that's understandable, but why'd the players care outside of the game itself.

So about that leaked footage...

So about that leaked footage...

First half looked like Witcher 3, rest looked like a typical AssCreed.

So like Odyssey was good fun. And ships have been on of the best part of AC games. So I'm about as hyped for this as you can be for another AC game.

Will probably buy it on sale.

[Cail]

Its coming out 2 days before Cyberpunk so I'll be waiting a bit for it

[Anoat]

I don’t believe for one second it is releasing on time. It will be delayed like everything else due to COVID. But they will get it out before Christmas, whether it’s ready or not.

Today, during the Ubisoft Forward digital conference, Ubisoft announced that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will release worldwide on November 17, 2020 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on Uplay+, Ubisoft’s subscription service and Stadia.

Brand new gameplay shown at the digital conference illustrates new features that players can enjoy, including dual-wielding, raiding, assaults, and open-world activities.

Additionally, the return of the Hidden Blade allows Eivor to assassinate targets with deadly precision.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an ambitious action role-playing game that places player choice and exploration at the center of the experience. Throughout the world, players will encounter gameplay challenges, unique and surprising characters with unforgettable stories and a variety of breathtaking landscapes to set foot on. Players will have the ability to customize their character’s hair, tattoos, war paint, weapons and gear, in addition to the option of switching between male or female Eivor at any time.

Does the Ps5 have a release date? Might be why it's not mentioned

PS4 standard physical edition can be pre-ordered on Amazon now for $50, it includes a free digital PS5 upgrade code. Big brain mode to get the PS5 version for $20 cheaper.

[Krandor]

I don't think this one is being sold for 70 since it's cross-gen purchase on both console platforms.

Not on sale on Amazon.ca, but the ps5 upgrade seems to be standard. I checked Best Buy, and they also offer a free upgrade to PS5. However, dont expect to buy AC:V on ps4, upgrade to PS5 and sell your ps4 copy, you'll need to keep the disc to use the digital PS5 version.

Get the PlayStation 5 version once it's available; Assassin's Creed Valhalla PlayStation 4 game on Blu-Ray disc must be kept inserted in a PlayStation 5 console to play the corresponding Assassin's Creed Valhalla digital version for PlayStation 5 at no additional cost, once available. Note: Requires a PlayStation 5, the game on Blu-Ray disc, a PlayStation Network registration, additional storage space, and a broadband internet connection. May incur bandwidth usage fees.
