Xbox Series X when both the console and that version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are available.

Uh, what is this suggesting? The console isn't launching this holiday? Or the updated version of the game isn't launching this holiday?

 

[Explosive Zombie]

6 editions... yay...

 

[Bladed Thesis]

I think that they're not launching the same day.

Xbox version of Assassin's Creed Valhalla will support Smart Delivery aka cross-gen buy.

I hope more games will follow the suit, Cyberpunk 2077 is already confirmed.

Nope, just that buying it for the one gives you a copy of the Series X version, even if the game comes out before the new console does.

I wonder when the console is coming out then. Ass Creed games release late October/November.

 

[kretos]

 

[Guy_who_thinks_hes_cool]

During these difficult times, I'm glad such a game is coming out

 

[Nankatsu]

I'm disappointed. No female Viking kicking man's ass.

Spoiler

Dope trailer. But then again, you throw a hidden blade at some point in a trailer, it automatically makes the game an Assassin's Creed game lol...

Edit: Guess I spoke too soon:

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Love the setting. Really excited. Still need to pay Origins and finish Odyssey (guess I went backwards)

 

[Stuart360]

Uh, what is this suggesting? The console isn't launching this holiday? Or the updated version of the game isn't launching this holiday?

Dont forget we havent got an 'official' release date yet for XSX. Plus AC usually releases in October i think.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

This is a Ubisoft game, so wait six months and it'll be 50% off. Wait a year and it'll be 80% off.

Be strong.

 

[phil_t98]

just a though, I wonder if currant xbox one owners will be able to preorder games digitally so the day series X arrives its plug in sown load and play

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Any gameplay footage at all yet? No interest in watching a CG trailer.

 

[Fake]

Any gameplay footage at all yet?

No. Just a generic trailer.

 

[Tareskog]

Has it been said anything about camp/base building? Because that Berserker Settlement Pack in the collectors ed sure indicates so.

edit: nvm

«As Eivor, a fierce Viking raider, you’ll lead your clan to build a new home amid England’s fractured dominions.»
and
«There, you’ll provide for yourself and your people by constructing, customizing, and upgrading your settlement with new buildings like barracks, blacksmiths, and tattoo parlors, all while recruiting new members to grow your clan.»

 

[Doncabesa]

Next Thursday on Inside Xbox is the gameplay trailer.

 

[Guilty_AI]

No transgender vikings?

Jokes aside, couldn't be less excited for this game.
6 different versions and willing to bet some of these will cost +$100, trailer music certainly chosen by a bunch of suits looking at some "Whats popular among younglings these days" charts, PC version locked to shitty stores and undoubtly will have 3 different DRMs or more....
Then there is the unavoidable expectation that this'll just use ubisoft formula again with uninspired gameplay and story, maybe some new mechanics here and there that were just added for the marketing potential.

Why the hell people still get excited for shit like this? It isn't even a gameplay trailer, just CGI.

Let people enjoy things. Where the problem?
Gameplay will be shown at Xbox inside on may the 7th.

I think smart delivery is also pretty nice.

 

[GymWolf]

i'm gonna wait to see some gameplay before getting hyped, they need to make the combat more than serviceable this time.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Let people enjoy things. Where the problem?

Let people hate things. Where's the problem?
From the bottom of my heart, i can't understand what's so exciting about titles like this dripping money and corporate interest from every hole. Absolutely no soul.
And i can't help but hate how this puts far more interesting games in the shadows with the sheer power of money.

 

[SuperLupeRap]

Any gameplay footage at all yet? No interest in watching a CG trailer.

Rumors are gameplay at the Xbox event in a few days. Makes sense since the trailer is marketing it as an Xbox game.

I think the AC games themselves have plenty of "soul," which is why I tend to look forward to them.

 

[RSB]

The setting seems cool, and I'm sure the game will be great, but having finished AC Origins recently, I would have loved to see the next game following Amunet during the early days of the Roman Empire.

I imagine after Origins (love it) and Odyssey (I'm gonna play it this summer) they didn't want the next AC set in yet another classic greco-roman setting, so it makes sense I guess.

 

[junguler]

ctrl+f iconic came up empty, i'm disappointed in you op.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Did they already give up on parkour or is this the nail in the coffin?

 

[scalman]

cgi trailer but so good , man this is good, this gonna be good. No preorder , i buy all my games day first digital , and this will be from uplay i guess.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Ubisoft still in 90’s and 00’ with cgi trailers? Does it add anything to the game? Its not even gonna be in the game..... total waste of money. How about improve the graphic so they dont look upressed ps3 games and animations...... and dont downgrade them.....

 

[MMaRsu]

Zzźzzzzzzz

 

[SirTerry-T]

Askeladd DLC character please Unisoft.

Exactly a waste of everyones time and their own money

what idiots

 

[TTOOLL]

6 editions... yay...

It's going to be a mess and we know it lol

Trailer is crazy good, btw. Impressive models even for a cinematic trailer.

 

[Bryank75]

Zzźzzzzzzz

Yup, the setting looks good but you know it's just gojng to be the same AC gameplay... very rote and boring. Might still get because I love history though...

 

[Fake]

6 editions... yay...

Its beat shadow of Tomb Raider?

 

[scalman]

cgi trailers are cool , still raising that level where in game graphics could be , we have in game screens but i guess they wont show yet any next gen in game screens so only this gen for now.
looks good

and people should think twice before talking about graphics, this thing must run on Xbox one console, so think again , and nobody shown yet next gen screens just this gen .

 

[Kerotan Frog]

I'm prob in for a PS5 copy. It's going to be my new tradition to play AC at launch on next gen. I really loved Black Flag when I finished Killzone SF. Not doing the extra stuff though. That female viking statue looks terrible lmao.

 

[scalman]

 

[pawel86ck]

Assassins Creed series always melted high end PCs, so I'm guessing 3080ti will be required to run this game with decent settings.

 

[Psykodad]

Slightly interested because of the viking theme.

Only played the original AC and it was fun until it took nosedive into shitty realm with the story.

How have the last few AC been?

 

[sertopico]

6 editions... yay...

... And about 30 sub editions with exxxxclusive armors. extra ubi credits, statues, t-shirts, fake viking beards, special weapons and so on.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Good to see they got the mountain out of GoT.

 

[Bladed Thesis]

I wonder when the console is coming out then. Ass Creed games release late October/November.

The One came out November 22nd which was a Friday. So I'm assuming the Series X will release something like November 20th or 27th this year. If the game drops late October, early November, then it will be out before the Series X

 

[The Cartographer]

GBA and N-Gage ports when?

This is a Ubisoft game, so wait six months and it'll be 50% off. Wait a year and it'll be 80% off.

Be strong.

You mean three months for the 50% discount.

 

[dorkimoe]

I am really curious why they waste so much time making these trailers. Does ANYONE like these no gameplay videos anymore?

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Yeah, I thought this one was awesome.

 

[scalman]

not at 1080p at least. origins and odysey runs fine on gtx 1060 6gb with i7 on laptop almost all maxed on 1080p.

Yeah, I thought this one was awesome.

indeed it was awesome. to tell the story before game its very good to show its in best possible way. not many doing it right now. it ouwld be hard to do same with in game footage i think. In game will came next so anyway.

 

[Steve.1981]

It's vikings. I'm in.

 

[Kokoro2020]

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey was such a great game. I'll definitely be checking out this one as well.
