Assassin’s Creed Valhalla's Free Weekend of Play Begins Today
From now until the end of the month, Ubisoft is hosting a free Assassin's Creed Valhalla weekend across all available platforms. The free-to-play weekend comes days ahead of AC Valhalla's Dawn of Ragnarok DLC, a $40 expansion starring Odin in a quest to rescue his son, Baldr. Ubisoft announced the DLC late last year, promising an all-new robust experience packed with fresh gameplay mechanics, previously unseen locales, and a host of intriguing characters for players to meet.
Set in 9th Century England during the Viking Age, Assassin's Creed Valhalla allows players to assume the role of Eivor, a Viking warrior who leaves their home in Norway with a crew of fellow villagers looking to make a new life in what will one day become the United Kingdom.

Notably, the franchise's latest entry continues to up the ante on the live-service aspects as well, with AC Valhalla counting as the first installment to recieve a second year of post-launch support.
