The release date for Assassin's Creed Valhalla may have leaked ahead of its official announcement, according to a rumour from Reddit. The poster says that their local gaming shop had a 16th October 2020 release date attached to the title, and the moderation team backs up this claim by confirming that the user shared screenshots of the product page.
The listed date has since been removed, but it's entirely possible that it was accurate. As the poster points out, the last three mainline Assassin's Creed games all launched in October, and let's not forget that we're about to see Valhalla gameplay at Microsoft's Xbox Series X event later this week. It could be that a release date will be revealed there, and that retailers already have access to this information.
Does this mean that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are also going to launch on the 16th October? We doubt it. It's more likely that Valhalla will release on current-gen hardware first, and then make the next-gen jump once the consoles are out. Whether we'll have to buy a separate version, or whether there'll be some kind of upgrade option, we don't yet know.

i could totaly see this as accurate.
we already know xbox versions will get a free upgrade patch,most likely ps5 will have that system aswell.
Can't wait ......looks incredible.
Well if it's on reddit, it must be true! xD
@thefirst yeah they did, i did that with Black Flag as a matter of fact, you had to put the PS3 disc in the PS4 in order to play the game though but that was as a licence check basically
It's highly likely PS5 version will be free like XSX, especially with the PS4 install base. It's very likely this next generation popular XSX games will keep a price tag of £25 upwards, Sony could do the same. You can see this now on the Xbox store, Black Ops 1 or 2 is £39.99 if you want to buy it today some others are £25.
Not day one. I'll still be playing Cyberpunk 2077.
ac valhalla is gonna be cross platform. on ps4/xbox1
Microsoft already said that if you buy any game on the Xbox One then it will transfer over to Xbox Series X version free of charge. They're calling it "Smart Delivery." A direct quote from them was, "Smart Delivery empowers you to buy a game once and know that — whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X — you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on."
