Instead of releasing Assassin's Creed Valhalla's first major expansion on April 29, Ubisoft has announced that Wrath of Druids will be coming out on May 13. According to the developer, it needed to delay the release to "deliver a more refined experience." Ubisoft also promised to publish an article that provides transparency and insights into its development process. Beyond that, the game developer didn't expound on what caused the issues.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla won't be the first Assassin's Creed game to offer you the option to choose between a male and a female character. That honour already belongs to 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. But now, Valhalla will let you choose either the male or female version of the same character. And yes, both choices will still be considered canon to the story, according to narrative director Darby McDevitt. The female version will be available in the game's collector's edition.

In the game, you play as Eivor, who is described as a "fierce Viking raider raised on tales of battle and glory." You lead a group of Norsemen that have been driven out of Norway by "endless wars and dwindling resources in the ninth century CE." Assassin's Creed Valhalla is expected to arrive in Holiday 2020 season. It'll come to the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Google Stadia, Ubisoft's UPlay+, and the Epic Games Store.

'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' won't be available on Steam at launch

Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will only be available on one third-party store for the PC, the Epic Games Store. The game will also be launching on Ubisoft's Uplay, Google Stadia, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 this Holiday 2020. It will be the first mainline new installment of Assassin's Creed that will skip Steam at launch.
