Ubisoft delays first Assassin’s Creed Valhalla expansion

Wrath of the Druids was going to be the first expansion of Valhalla, it was scheduled for two weeks from now, on April 29, but ultimately that will not happen thanks to Ubisoft preferring to offer a “more refined” experience. The delay is also for two weeks so it will arrive in mid-May.

This new planned expansion will take us to Ireland where a very particular group of druids will give us problems. If we take into account that the saga is constantly rubbing shoulders with fantastic elements, it may be that some of these druids are related to the druids we know from other franchises like WoW.

Just a couple of weeks

In any case, we will now have to wait a couple more weeks to find out how Ubisoft will raise the Druids. From the developer they revealed They will soon share an important statement in which they will provide transparency regarding what happens with the development of the first expansion of the title.

To deliver a more refined experience, we’re sharing that:

Most likely, as has happened in all studies, the conditions of working from home have affected development. It is the most normal thing, especially if we consider that Ubisoft has developers scattered all over the world and that not everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated yet.

In any case, we don’t know what will happen to “The Siege of Paris”, the second expansion. This one was not even dated so it may be slightly delayed as well but we will never find out about this.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla debuted with the new generation in November and received the criticism that the franchise usually receives. Fun, with great interpretations, graphics and story, but with very repetitive and unnecessarily long missions. However, the franchise has its audience and this expansion promises more of the same for those who like it.

Wrath of the Druid will now arrive on May 13.
