The latest title in the long-running Ubisoft franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases in one week as a launch title for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, as well as on current-gen platforms.

The celebratory event will feature a few online media outlets and will be hosted by Danny Wallace, who has written and acted in a number of Assassin’s Creed games dating all the way back to Assassin’s Creed 2. Odin’s Hootenanny will include game shows, discussion panels, and challenges to showcase the upcoming action roleplaying game.
Odin’s Hootenanny will include a variety of events to celebrate all things Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the 12th major installment in the video game franchise that was born in 2007. The latest title is set in 873 AD and recounts an alternative version of the Viking invasion of Britain. Gamers will visit a number of real-life locations in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on the journey from Norway to England, as they embody Eivor, a Viking raider who gets caught up in the ceaseless struggle between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will release for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on November 10, followed by a PS5 release on November 12.
