Assassin's Creed Valhalla's 2022 expansion has seemingly leaked just hours after Ubisoft teased its official reveal (set to take place on the 13th December). As compiled on Reddit, the DLC appears to have been outed almost entirely through a Chinese storefront. Several screenshots show Odin — or Havi, as he or she is referred to in the base game — exploring, conversing, and fighting in what look like mystical realms from Norse mythology.
Let's be honest here: these pictures are the real deal. The only reason we're marking this as a rumour is because the product description has been roughly translated from Chinese. According to the translation, this 'Dawn of Ragnarok' expansion is set across the nine realms, and follows Odin as they attempt to struggle against Ragnarok — the end of the world.
The description also makes it sound like Eivor will have a much more real stake in all this — it might not just be some kind of dream or vision, like with the existing mythological chapters in Valhalla. This will supposedly be the biggest expansion in Assassin's Creed history, and it's apparently releasing on the 10th March, 2022.
What do you make of all this? Try not to bring about Ragnarok in the comments section below.

If Immigrant Song is featured heavily I may give this a shot.
I'll be experiencing Ragnarok in God of war not in ubisofts copy & paste open world
I hope they turn all their Valhalla DLCs into standalone releases one day. Then I might pick up the Druids and Ragnarok ones. But who am I kidding. God of War is where the norse is at.
Would rather have had more in Britain like Cornwall or maybe Wales.
Assassin's Creed > God of War.
Just sounds like more of the same. Did not care much for this AC entry... pls just announce the next one Ubi.
The main game was at the end such a slog for me, that I won't be playing any dlc.
This game is way to long imo.
While quite pretty, the mythical DLC of Origins and particularly Odyssey didn't offer the same level of immersion as the main games did. It was all "just a fantasy", and running chores for pretend gods is not much fun. Hopefully, this will be better, and I will most likely check it out.
I have to get this game for my ps5 at some point..i loved odyssey and origins even though i played them in the wrong order so as soon as i have a few hundred hours spare i'll pick this up..
Question is, will this be included in the season pass or will it be an extra purchase and/or will there be a second season pass as ubisoft said there could be another year of content??

@MrGilly69 Definitely should have added Wales. So many stories and legends that could have been told .
As for this....i mean it sounds good and the screenshots look cool. I'm tempted, but only once it goes on sale. I've not brought myself to get the current season pass as i am burnt out after 140 hours of the base game.
My worry about this dlc is that it emulates the base game between the 9 realms and you will largely just be doing the same copy and paste things in each. I'm certainly not expecting ubisoft to come close to matching the storytelling we will see in God of War Ragnorak (i expect Santa Monica, whilst unliklely to be worried about this, are a bit peeved Ubisoft are dropping their own Ragnorak release so close to their own game)
I love mythology, and would love to play this. but I don't think I can put myself through an entire assassin's creed game to just play this content. I'll wait for the big one.
@EquiinoxGII i do wonder whether this will be released as a standalone game. If it is as big as it sounds, it seems a bit grand for just DLC
@Rob_230 reports state that this was supposed to be it's own ac game but they made it into dlc instead.
which is good because i would hate a actuall ac game in a fantasy setting. that's just a step to far for me.
This is exciting if you played the game and followed the Asgard storyline.
As far removed from Assassins Creed as you can get !! ..remember the good old days of number 2 / Brotherhood and Revelations?
@KingPev I remember
as an AC fan this is not what I wanted, was hoping for something set in Scotland with our wonderful landscapes and tie it into the mythology world. so annoying how they keep pushing this Ragnarock stuff leave it to God of War.
The Asgard Arc was nearly a game-killer for me during Valhalla, so I'm not touching this.
I find it funny that people are on here complaining about the game being long. Bet the same ppl complain about a game being to short. Gamers are the worse.
Whoever names things at Ubisoft needs to come up with original names.
They’ve slapped ‘Ragnarok’ onto this after the announcement of God of War Ragnarok and they did the same with Odyssey, a word rarely used in game titles but used in quick succession after Super Mario Odyssey came out.
@Gazray @Rob_230 @thenewguy @Would_you_kindly @Happychocobo Same here, much more interested in playing God of War: Ragnarok.
Here's hoping we will get that game by Summer 2022.
@KingPev Yeah with the Isu, ancient beings and tech, Adam and Eve, the Apple of Eden and so on. I swear people forget that AC has always been batsh*t crazy and far more then just Assassins. The Myth of Greek, Norse and Egypt are just Isu, yes its stretching it but in universe they were real Isu things made Myth.
Why does Fenris (I presume that’s him) look so off in that screenshot? His jaws seem way too narrow compared to the rest of the head.
You know, I bought this last January and keep meaning to start it, then Ubisoft announce a mega-patch, so I decide to wait and play something else in the meantime which then hooks me. Now I am waiting to see what comes with this Ragnarok update.
To be fair, this expansion launches early 2022, and God of War Ragnarok probably won’t be out till the tail end of 2022...so there’s plenty of time to play both 🤷🏻♂️
@Futureshark Well Ragnarok will be an expansion and most likely designed for higher level players as well those what have played late game story stuff so you might as well start now, its a very very long game so you will most likely still be playing by the time it launches.
@ApostateMage You are the guy that defends the garbage called Cyberpunk so yeah i cant take you serious. GoW >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cyberpunk PS4/Xbox One
@Flaming_Kaiser I don't defend Cyberpunk 2077. I just often say that I really enjoyed the game which seems to stand out more amongst all the negative posts bashing it, like yours above. So on your bike, lad.
@Flaming_Kaiser Now it's obvious anyone who calls Cyberpunk 2077 garbage clearly HASN'T played it. Even with a few bugs still present it's better and more enjoyable than half the games out there.
@TheArt Sorry but you always annoy me the game is still bad on the previous gen. Its not for nothing that i hear it so many times on reviews even with the latest patches just dont buy it on a previous gen just wait and buy it on PC or PS5 or Xbox X/S.
I just have high standards especially with lying scumbag companies. If i would have bought a car in the release state of PS4 /Xbox One game they would be up one heck of a lawsuit.
Dont forget its a the PS4 edition/Xbox One version that still is far from great quality this product is sold as a PS4/Xbox One product there is no PS5 edition.
The same with GTA Definitive Edition people will defend the most horrible game releases why i will never understand. The bar is set so low with some companies they have no shame whatsoever anymore with what they release.
They know they sell broken launch games and the only reason they get away with it is because the law is far behind with protection for the customer that its insane.
@Flaming_Kaiser Woah woah there friend. No one defended Cyberpunk at launch, I'm talking about NOW, it's very playable. It's IGN Japan's GOTY 2021. I'll take it over a lot of boring games with no bugs. So far it's the only game close to challenging GTAV and I give them credit for trying. The game is overambitious in the way of sheer amount of assets on screen at a given time that's why it has all those bugs. So if anyone wants undermine all the effort into just one word - garbage - obviously the person hasn't played it. 😉
@Icey664 The next one, if the rumors are true (and with AC they usually are), is a full retail priced live-service game that will be lousy with thousands of dollars of microtransactions, expansions, and dlc.
