The release date posted was October 15 and has since been changed to December 31 - likely because that’s the last day of the year and we already know that Valhalla is due out at some point in 2020. However, Redditor AssassinsCrypt managed to nab a cheeky screenshot of the October listing beforehand. Check it out.
AssassinsCrypt posted the screenshot on Facebook to make it easily accessible. Although it’s in Italian, it’s pretty easy to spot the part that translates to “Release date: October 15, 2020.” October has been the subject of many a leak of late. It was recently rumored that the PS5 would be launching in October, too, although these claims were swiftly debunked by Sony Japan.
Even if the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla release date does turn out to be October 15, we’ve still got quite a while to wait. Fortunately, you can easily access other Assassin’s Creed games to keep you occupied: at the moment, the Discovery Tour modes for Ancient Egypt (Assassin’s Creed Origins) and Ancient Greece (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey) are available to download for free.
