Assassin's Creed Valhalla's supposedly massive 2022 DLC has a release date, as well as a trailer and loads of details. Titled Dawn of Ragnarok, Ubisoft says that it's "the most ambitious expansion in franchise history". In it, Odin must adventure across the Nine Realms of Norse mythology, seeking a way to get around the titular Ragnarok — the fated end of the world.
The official description reads: "In a stunning world of Norse Myth, invaders of frost and flame threaten the fate of the Nine Realms. The dwarven kingdom of Svartalfheim is crumbling, and amidst the chaos, Odin’s beloved son, Baldr, has been taken prisoner by the immortal fire giant, Surtr."
Dawn of Ragnarok will build upon the mythological elements that are already present in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It's set to release on the 10th March, 2022.
What's more, if you pre-purchase the expansion, you get a DLC pack that you can use right now in the base game. It includes a new armour set, weapons, a mount, and a raven skin.
Will you be joining Odin next year? Prepare for a journey into the Nine Realms below.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Hasn't been confirmed yet, but there's no chance of this being part off the current season pass.
@ShogunRok yeah I've just checked the store, it's not part of the season pass.
Be cool if action be as cinematic as in that trailer, with smooth not too fast animations, cam angles, etc.
Kinda like how tsushima seems to be, for which im still waiting in a good sale..
@Cherip-the-Ripper Booooo! (But totally expected.)
I am so excited. I've logged over 250+ hours into AC Valhalla and can't wait to enjoy more!
I'd quite like this as a seperate release if possible - by which i mean if i can avoid reinstalling Valhalla - thus saving on SDD space - that would be ideal. They did it with Freedom Cry so sure they can with this
Defo not trying to compete with God of War. A bit pathetic really. There shouldn't have been a money grabbing expansion on top of the DLc thats already being charged for , should have been a new game. This is Ubisoft all over.
As much as I do not love the fact that they keep diving deeper into mythological stuff in assassins creed, I have to say thst trailer was sick and I am excited to go back to valhalla.
I shell pre-order with Xmas money, can't wait.
@MyThoughts31 You would rather they charged full price instead? Valhalla set this up from the start.
This is what I was hoping the original DLC was going to be - more mythological realms. From the screenshots alone this looks very much amazing.
honestly in the past they would have just released this as a sequel to valhalla like brotherhood and those other games were to ac2.
@Rob_230
I would hope it is, especially considering I've read it's hovering around 40 hours of gameplay in some of those leak announcements.
I hope it is a massive DLC like that.
This just makes me wish Odyssey went this route with Greek mythology. I haven't finished Odyssey yet, and I know it has a few mythological beasts to fight, but not to this degree. Also, I had hoped we'd get to visit a sunken Atlantis in the DLC for Odyssey. From what I've gathered, the DLC takes place pre-sinking.
40 bucks for 35hours of gameplay? ill get it, liked this one. Im still playing Syndicate here and there XD
I hope they take advantage of the setting to have better enemy variety!
Also there's always a thing I don't understand...they do these great cinematics for AC, but then you play the game and the cutscenes (even the action ones) are so...meh! You have no engaging cutscenes/scenes with dialogue and it always makes me sad because I'm sure other devs would do such a great job with this franchise...
@Papasears @Kang81 If the runtime leaks are true for this DLC, definitely worth the full price...
I'll probably still wait for a massive discount though, need to play thru the other games first (I stopped after beating AC1 and AC2).
@KidBoruto
Definitely, and I too have a large backlog of AC games to finish.
Black Flag
Syndicate
Rogue
Origins DLC
Odyssey and it's DLC
Valhalla
Just my AC backlog alone is enough gaming to last me a whole year if not more.
@Kang81 Same backlog for me, but I need to also play thru AC Brotherhood and AC3.
I'll also probably replay AC2 for the trophies/story refresher, I beat it on PS3.
Still surprised that Ubisoft has not done an AC1 remaster or remake by now...
@KidBoruto
I'd be down for an AC1 remake.
@Kang81 Hopefully we get said AC1 remake before PS6 releases.
