Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC Expansion Released Date Pushed Back

The first of 2 major expansions planned for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids has now been delayed. Initially set for release on April 29, 2021, the expansion has been pushed back to release on May 13, 2021.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla fans have been looking forward to the Wrath of the Druids this month as it adds a ton of atmospheric horror to the game. The expansion sees Eivor travel to Ireland to battle a mysterious druidic cult called the Children of Danu.

The reason for the delay is unconfirmed so far, but there’s been a vague “To deliver a more refined experience” statement from the game’s official Twitter account. According to the tweet, Ubisoft is also planning to put out an article to “provide transparency and share insights on our dev process.”

The Assassin’s Creed franchise, as a whole, has been known to take inspiration from folklore and history. The Wrath of the Druids is a great example of Ubisoft seeking inspiration from folklore to deliver a unique experience for fans.

In the era of modern AAA games, it is imperative for studios to support their titles long after release to ensure players keep coming back to the game. Ubisoft has done a pretty decent job with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla so far, with the Yule Festival, among other updates.

While fans will be a little disappointed, it is ultimately a good sign that AAA studios like Ubisoft are focusing on polishing the game and quality first. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a largely positive reputation amongst fans, a lack of polish on a major expansion such as this would have hurt their reputation.
