Grab your shield and pick up your oar, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is coming!
After a reveal timelapse drawing and an epic cinematic trailer we now know just what is coming... chaos!
The Vikings are on their way and they seem to have a score to settle in England.
With a release date and the announcement of several editions, its time to decide where your money is going.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla editions
As you would expect from a Ubisoft game and major triple-A title, there are several editions you can buy, including some exclusive retailer ones.
After the glory of the trailer, it's safe to say you should get your pre-order in!
Let's explore what you get for your money...
Limited Edition
The cheapest edition out there to pre-order right now is on Amazon and strictly for PS4 and Xbox One.
The Limited Edition comes with The Berserker Settlement Pack, The Hati Wolf Mount & A Set of Runes - as well as the base game.
A pre-order of this edition gets you a bonus mission "The Way of the Berserker" too.
Standard Edition
As you'd expect, this is just the base game.

Drakkar Edition
This one is a UK retail GAME exclusive.
At just £57.99 the Drakkar Edition is pretty good value. It comes with the base game and The Berserker Longship Pack which gives you a unique figurehead and set of new sails for your ship.

You also get a new skin to customise your raven (cool) and a set of runes to sharpen the weapons or improve the gear of your choice.
And a pre-order still gets you "The Way of the Berserker" bonus mission.
Gold Edition
At £84.99 the Gold Edition is a little more pricy.
You get a copy of the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla game but also the Season Pass - which seemingly gives you access to upcoming DLC and extra missions. It also says you get an "immersive Story Mission, available at Launch".

Assassin's Creed Valhalla release date
There is no firm release date for Assassin's Creed Valhalla just yet.

Is the hidden blade coming back to Assassin's Creed Valhalla?
After its absence in much of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the hidden blade is finally returning to the game!
In the trailer, we watched our protagonist, Eivor, use his hidden blade to triumph over a might foe when defeat seemed a certainty.
SURPRISE: The ultimate weapon is back
Fingers crossed we will get it early and it will be a focal point of combat once again.
