A new approach

Assassin's Creed games have released on Steam in the past, so this decision marks a different approach than seen previously.

Ubisoft will be releasing the game on PC through Epic Games this time around, alongside their own Uplay store.

There are a number of theories behind why exactly Ubisoft made the decision, most of them concerning themselves with the difference in 'cut' that Epic Games takes in comparison to Steam.

System Requirements

Since we don't have the official system requirements for the game, we can safely assume that it will be higher than it was for its predecessor.

The last Assassin's Creed game on PC had a recommended system of:

• Processor: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz, Ryzen 5 - 1400, Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.5 GHz or better
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 290, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0) or better
• Storage: 46+ GB available space
• Additional Notes: Video Preset: High (1080p)

If your PC meets this, then great! If not, there's still some time to upgrade ahead of the release.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is certainly looking to be an amazing entry into the series, we even think if it makes good on a few changes it could be the best yet.
