Although Ubisoft just unveiledAssassin’s Creed Valhallaa few days ago, many fans are already clamoring to see it in action.Gameplay will be shown forAssassin’s Creed Valhallasoon, but even then, with or without it, many just want to have hands on it.
As such, many are looking at various dates as to when the game could release, with there at least being a few hints out in the wild. However,Assassin’s Creed Valhallafans have put together what would be the perfect date for the game to release, as if all the stars in the sky aligned: October 9, Leif Erikson day.

Assassin’s Creed Valhallais currently slated to release Holiday 2020, normal nomenclature for a game set to be released near the end of the year. Leif Erikson is obviously a perfect day for the game to release, as it is actually a holiday based on the Norse figure who first set foot in the Americas. It’s unlikely that Lief Erikson appears in the game, as his disappearance is dated around 1025, andAC Valhallatakes place during the 9th century. It would still be the perfect date as a Norse-related holiday.
What’s better, most video games typically release on either a Tuesday or a Friday. This is true ofAssassin’s Creed Origins, which released on Friday, June 15, 2025, as well asAssassin’s Creed Odyssey, which released June 27, 2025, a Friday. Leif Erikson day (October 9) also falls on a Friday this year, meaning that it’s a near-perfect date forAssassin’s Creed Valhallato release as well.
This also coincides with the recent leak (later confirmed by the author) of theAssassin’s Creed Valhallacompanion novel. It comes out on November 17 by all reports, and its companion game typically releases a month, give or take, before or after it. Since after would push it into late November or December, October 9 best fits into this time frame, even if it a slight stretch. Nonetheless, it would make sense given the holiday and video game coincide so beautifully.
It’s also worth mentioning thatAC Valhallareleases on the PS5 and Xbox Series Xas well. An October release for either console seems doubtful, but at the same time, it’s possible thatValhallafirst launches on current-gen hardware and can be later played on next-gen hardware.AC Valhalla’s Smart Delivery for its Xbox One-Xbox Series X versions have been confirmed, after all.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallareleases Holiday 2020 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
