The upcoming Valhalla DLC leak is in line with previous rumors
Tom Henderson is usually leaking information about Battlefield and Call of Duty games. However, the trusted industry insider has been known to deviate now and then. Earlier this year, Henderson kickstarted the rumors that GTA 6 won’t release until 2025. He also leaked info about an NFT-based AAA FPS game from former Halo developers being in the works. Finally, he mentioned that a Battle Royale game based on Squid Game was also in development. So, while he does have some specialties, Henderson isn’t limited to his niche as far as having accurate intel goes. With that said, his latest tweet suggests that a massive 40-hour DLC campaign for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is coming. He even hinted that Ubisoft could reveal this expansion at The Game Awards 2021.
There’s also a massive DLC expansion coming in March 2022. It’s expected to be around 40 hours of additional gameplay and will be a “God of War-style” expansion, whatever that means. — Tom Henderson (@Tom_Henderson) December 7, 2021 Of course, none of this is confirmed information, so it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. But, it is in line with previous rumors about future Assassin’s Creed Valhalla content as well as official announcements straight from Ubisoft. We already know that Ubisoft is working on more post-launch DLCs for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Meanwhile, an earlier leak suggested that the upcoming DLC will be titled “Dawn of Ragnarok”. When you consider that the God of War sequel’s title is God of War Ragnarok, there are just far too many coincidences at this point. Ultimately, it’s all up to Ubisoft to confirm all these speculations. If it’s any consolation, Ubisoft did release something substantial for Valhalla. Unfortunately, it’s not new DLC content. Instead, Ubisoft announced in a forum post that players will have to re-download the full game as of update 1.4.1 as part of the studio’s effort to restructure the game’s files so that it’s ready to support “future content and game updates.” If nothing else, this confirms that Ubisoft is setting the stage for its epic Viking RPG title to expand going forward.
