Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had double the number of active players on launch day when compared to its predecessor, Odyssey, publisher and developer Ubisoft revealed today.
Things also looked great for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Twitch and YouTube, where the levels of launch day viewership and engagement were bigger than those of any other Ubisoft game.
“We are humbled by the reception from the players and extremely proud of what our teams have accomplished with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which builds on the amazing success of its predecessors,” said Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot.

“In the context of COVID-19, shipping Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on no less than seven platforms is an incredible achievement for all of the teams involved around the world. We are excited to greet players on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 with a game that unleashes the power of the new hardware. This paves the way for an exciting Christmas period, with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla set to be one of this season’s biggest hits.” Guillemot concluded.
AC Valhalla benefited from a great critical reception, its Ubisoft Connect library issue and existing bugs not being enough to deter players from experiencing Eivor’s Viking adventure throughout Norway, England and beyond.
