Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök DLC (March 10, 2022)

[scemopagliaccioh]

I’m actually interested in an Ubisoft product for once, because they plagarised Kubo. Nice.

Ragnarök Edition can be pre-ordered now.

DLC is not on a disc, but a downloadable code, too bad.

For such a huge expansion 9 measly trophies seem out of place.

 

Also recently there was a leak, not really verifiable, where there will be a small AC game like Liberation or Rouge by the end of the year. If this is true this can be the last expansion alongside the second part for Mastery and Tomb challenges.

I hope thats not the official trophy list lol. 9 trophies for a 40+ hour campaign... please god no. I don't want to force myself through a 40+ hour campaign for 9 easy trophies including ANOTHER 100% complete all territories trophy

9 out of 10 people on the internet:

 

"Assassin's Creed Rouge"

"Star Wars Rouge One"

"X-Men's Rouge"

 

It's ROGUE goddamnit.

The trophy list shows up now on PSN. It brings the 100% down to 88%. 

 

Probably going to stay that way for a couple months (for me) until a sale comes along.

Same . I'm not buying this expansion at full price. It doesn't deserve it. Besides, given the history of the game, it's likely to be riddled with game breaking bugs to begin with.

[theSpirae]

I still haven't bought any of the DLCs and at this rate, I'm going to wait a year or two for a final Complete edition and get it for 20$. Might as well sell my base game copy while the price is still decent.

This looks more like a cheap imitation of God of War Ragnarök than anything else. All creativity and innovation that was left in this franchise is completely gone now. I'm sure this is the furthest from being an actual Assassin that Ubisoft has driven this series towards.

 

Turns out, the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt had more going for it than the poor reception Assassin's Creed Unity received and the poor sales Assassin's Creed Syndicate received. Granted, I think Assassin's Creed Origins is still pretty good, it was a nice change of pace to dive into Ancient Egypt and explore those old tombs and pyramids. But I don't think I played any other open world game that had a more obvious template copy and pasted onto it than Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Jesus Christ, it was fucking formulaic. Same bandit camps, same boring objectives for completing a location, same repetitive combat of fighting enemies who were literally sponges, the list goes on. All this over 110 hours played on my account. I enjoyed the first 40 - 50 hours of the game, the rest of it was a monotonous chore.

 

So now, there are two story related DLCs in addition to a Challenge DLC and an upcoming expansion that I'm sure will put both Ireland and France to shame. That's not including the 100+ hours required for the platinum trophy because you have to go after a godforsaken amount of collectibles, many of which are utterly annoying to get because of how the game designers implemented them. For the 100% completion you have to find more collectibles for both Ireland and France, making the time required close to 200 hours spent. With an expansion that I'm sure will take 40 - 50 hours to finish, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is really turning into a bloated mess.

 

Most games in this franchise feel great and awesome for the first dozen hours or so. But once you start engaging in side activities and play more into the story, you start to feel serious repetition. Combat at least in Valhalla looks and feels better than it did in Odyssey, I played Valhalla for a bit the other night at a friends house so I can actually say I touched it.

I'm with you, brother!

 

[HedleyNEUK]

I've enjoyed all 150+ hours so far doing all of the main game and DLC (Except flipping Trials), so im super excited for the latest DLC coming

[takeshikitano3]

Trophies are making me think this is similar in scope to Wrath of the Druids and The Siege of Paris, which I enjoyed.  Same size but also just some new combat mechanics?

[breakXedge]

I'm excited for it but I'm not paying 40€, sorry. I can wait for a price drop, I'm finishing Mortal Shell, got Dark Souls Trilogy on Christmas and Elden Ring is just here. Plus I'm finishing my univeristy this year so I'll be extra busy!

A lot more than you realize are looking forward to it but it's like a trend now to hate on ubisoft no matter what they do.

I’m starting Valhalla’s quest to platinum and 100% DLC trophy completion next week and know I’ll be on the same boat as you!

[Risky_JG]

Does anyone know if this is a standalone from the base game or inside of the main game.  Only reason i asked bc i havent finished the full game but want to play DLCs

 

Thanks.

[TrophyChief]

Pre-ordered and consider it done shortly after it drops. 

[Xero_Z]

I don't know why ubisoft keep attaching dlc trophies to the list 1 month before release.. i've it preordered too, but with horizon, elden ring and gran turismo 7 i don't know when i will be able to play this... i hate incomplete games in my profile ?

[Ghost_of_Ziggy]

The only thing I can think of worse than playing Valhalla again, is playing a Valhalla spin off game. I’m an old school AC die hard but I can’t appreciate the Viking themes and characters in the game, they just lack depth and charisma.

Nope. I'm working my way through Horizon and Elden Ring, but AC:V is my next big game.

Pretty sure this'll be in-game like the previous ones, but you haven't had to finish the full game.  There were minimum requirements that were fairly early in Eivor's adventure, like just establishing your camp and doing one quest after.  This time you might need to do a bit more, like make sure that seer has joined the camp, as I suspect things will start with her.  But that's gotta be in the first half of the game, right?  (it's been a while for me)
