Assassins Creed Valhalla new screenshots July 2020-7

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was Ubisoft’s top-selling PC launch ever

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has also become the top-selling Ubisoft PC launch ever, driven by all-time record Ubisoft Store sales performance. In addition, the team revealed that the game has sold through more units in its first week than any other Assassin’s Creed game sold during the same period.

Julien Laferrière, producer on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, said:

“We are truly delighted by the enthusiastic response from players and want to thank the fans for their incredible support. Delivering this game amid a global pandemic was a true tour de force by our teams and it’s fantastic to see players enjoying the game so much. Launch is only the beginning and we have robust content plans for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. These plans will keep players immersed in their epic Viking saga for a long time to come.”

This falls in line with what Ubisoft stated last week about AC: Valhalla. As the company noted, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had twice the number of active players than Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

As we’ve already reported, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla currently requires high-end GPUs, and cannot scale well on weaker GPUs. Not only that, but the performance difference between High and Ultra settings is only 11%. Thus, let’s hope that Ubisoft will further optimize this game on the PC. After all, the game already sold great on the PC so we should be at least receiving a performance patch… right?

Stay tuned for more!

      1. Gamers aren’t the smartest people. Want proof, look no further than Killing Floor 2. I tried paying that game for a friend and I uninstalled after the first couple waves. This stuff is designed to destroy brain cells.

          1. Are you saying the Killing Floor 1 was better than this boring bloatfest that is Killing Floor 2? For years I’ve avoided playing the game but finally in 2020 I say, “let’s do it” I refunded that mess before you could say, “Is It Worth A Buy”. I felt sad, so much hype. So much flare and just deader than the zombies that portray.

          2. yes the first was much better ,core gameplay is the same, waves of enemies but visual style weapons and level design are much better. I dont think it will change your mind though.

        1. This game is not bad at all… I think you can’t have an objective opinion by trying a game for a few minutes… IMO it’s a good game to let off steam, for a 1-2 h session…

          I also liked the first one and I find that the second part does it justice …

          BTW it has good reviews from the press and the people (for what it’s worth)…

      1. COD is dog sh*t of industry. COD started the destruction of the single player games, then battle Royale came and finish the job. It was COD all along.

      1. Everything else has been fake so far and yet people go along with it. “just shut up and wear your mask” they said, out of all things to mandate, is a piece of fuqing cloth on your face. You put it on when you enter the restaurant, you take it off when you sit down to eat, you put it back on when you get up from the table to use the bathroom. Because Covid is a ‘Peter Gazer’ who is waiting for you in the rest room to spy on your peen.

        With all that said and done, I’m having a hard time believing that humans made an air plane or drum up the computer systems. No way a species this sheepled, docile & dumb created all those things.

        1. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat.” -Agent K. A person created these, not people.

          1. center […] flat

            It was an error to claim that the Earth was the center of the Solar System, but as for the Universe? We can see only as far as our instruments allow us, and we see equidistantly in all directions. As far as we can see, we are at the center of everything.

            And people knew that the Earth was round; Columbus wasn’t sailing west in order to fall off the planet.

            If you want to talk about scientific illiteracy, what about the religious (in the worst sense of the word) belief that Life arises apart from the same kind of life (or its programs)? Or the idea that we know experimentally that not only has Man caused Global Warming/Climate Change/Climate Disruption/[Insert convenient goalpost adjustment here], and that it’s harmful.

            What caused — and ended! — the Ice Age(s)? The Roman Warming Period? The Medieval Warming Period? Woolly Mammoths in their SUVs?

          1. You know I’ve heard that saying/proverb for the first time this year and I dread it. Because every single word of that line of wisdom makes me wanna give up on life. It is the absolute truth in everyway. Basically it stopped me dead in my tracks while I was trying to red pill some folks then that quote shows up and now at the site of any push back to the information Im providing, I just walk away. I don’t even put up argument anymore and I have so many of them. Because I know it’s pointless. I know that like my uncle use to say, “I’ll just be beating up my gums” talking to these people. What a world we live in.

          2. give up

            Have you ever read Abraham Lincoln’s comments on the “eternal struggle” between Liberty and tyranny, between Good and evil? That fight will continue until the Son of God returns; all that we have is to do our part, whatever that may be.

            It’s true that you might not persuade the target of your argument — believe me, I know! — but you may plant a seed that will one day produce fruit.

            Even better than that, you’ll give words to those who have an instinctive understanding of what’s right but don’t know how to articulate it, and you’ll give courage to those who think that they’re alone in their distress.

            (And one of the best parts to me? Making absolutely clear to those craven, petty tyrants who are used to getting away with bullying the decent and destroying what is good that they’re not going to get away with it this time.)

            Don’t give up. We’ve got people counting on us.

            “It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity, and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, “You toil and work and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.”

            No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.”

            –A. Lincoln

          1. All elections have been fake I started noticing that when I a CONSERVATIVE, Noticed their were NO CONSERVATIVES left in politics. It’s all Liberals/Liberal lites. Everyone just takes their turn screwing over everyone. I have a story for you I’ll try to keep it short. I went to Junior Highschool in Brooklyn New York, Brownsville where Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs & Zab Judah hails from (Boxers). Every election they would have a mock election for the junior high students. That year it was Bob Dole Vs Bill (getting sucked off) Clinton. So I casted my ballot and when I was done all the other kids turned to me and said, “you voted Democrat right?” I asked, “why would I do that?” They replied, “Because it’s what we do?”. I said, “We who?”. They said, “we black people”. And that’s the day I became a Conservative at 13 years old. Because I clearly missed the memo that ALL BLACKS SHOULD VOTE LIBERAL REGARDLESS.

            But the giant elephant in the room here is, “why would anyone have a bunch of kids do a mock vote in an election”. That is the million dollar question. That is how you condition a group/race to stay true to the BULLSH*T & continue to foster it’s own destruction. They recently did the same thing with the nickolodean network. By brain washing children into voting Liberal. And apparently the voted came back heavy for Trump. They scrapped the results and said they found proof of meddling. Fraud in a “children’s election”, must be Russian collusion going on over there at nickolodean. So of course the recounts happened and the Liberals WON.

          2. what has conservatism conserved? Nothing, honestly i follow what boris johnson does in uk, same politics as the left bowing down to everything, including the great reset and the eu, when he was for brexit.

            its pathetic controlled position

            I look at biden. Pro internet censorship, anti gun, pro corporations, pro critical race theory, pro wear, pro china, pro lockdowns. Why would anyone vote for him? Because media say “orange man bad”.

          3. Well I’m still a Conservative, I never changed or compromised. The so called politicians did. Im for less government and the right to defend thy self. I’m not with any of these compromised idiots. You already know the world is governed by Psychopaths and run by idiots. Boris Johnson is a true example. Another perfect example is the premiere in Ontario Canada. Dude run on his brothers platform Rob Ford, now he Doug Ford is the new premiere he’s just Fuqin over the People with lockdowns and Liberal bowing. Turns out there was nothing Conservative about that clown.

            The media was against his brother the true Conservative that lived and died. Now he’s sucking up to the same media that destroyed his brother. It’s fun to watch these turn coats in their natural habitats. Everytime I see a new Conservative leader I laugh, because the world hates Conservatism it wants liberalism and utter destruction. Rumor has it that Rob Ford use to call him “Commie Doug”. But voting never changes anything and
            You wanna know why? Because everyone in politics is a god damn idiot, that gets their orders from a psychopath. A world governed by psychopaths and run by idiots. You keep voting for the same traitors in a different meat suit.

            If people truly wanted a change you would never vote and see what happens. None of us gets to select who to truly represent us. We are told who to vote for. “Here are 2-4 people that’s gonna undermine your existence, now choose”. If you want to elect good people into office, make it a law that if you break/disrespects the law (the Constitution) as a politician in power, you are immediately tried and beheaded. Anyone that comes forward to lead after that is the true leader of man. Because they know what’s at stake… Their fuqing heads. But instead, there is no consequence for these dopes you elect. Therefore, NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE. same fuqing lies to gain power and power over you is what they all want. THEY ARE ALL COMMISSIONED BY THE SAME FORCES. wake the Fuq up people.

          4. If you want to elect good people into office, make it a law that if you break/disrespects the law (the Constitution) as a politician in power, you are immediately tried and beheaded.

            That’s what elections are for, but too many Americans are more concerned about who got kicked off The Bachelor than about who’s deciding their children’s future.

          5. boris johnson

            American Conservatism is about defending the Republic’s Founding principles:

            “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, that to preserve these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

            Many Republicans are so In Name Only, but the Democrats have become so tyrannical, perverse, and unscrupulous that they actually thought that they could get away with stealing this election.

            If JFK were to run today, he’d have to be a Republican or be not himself.

            You’re absolutely right about Biden and Democrat/media/big tech collusion.

          6. and the dems dont care about any of that or the constitution. GOP needs to purge the neocons and rinos.

            Also yeah the party of jfk is dead.

          1. None of this PLANDEMIC is based in science. Yet they’ll lie bold face and say, “we are following what the sentence says”. Not one doctor with any salt or scientists would tell anyone to wear a NON-MEDICAL MASK for MEDICAL PROBLEM. PPE specialists out there are warning people AGAINST wearing and it’s long term effects. Do people listen? NO! The government tells them to and they do it. In the past 9 months I’ve learned that there is no hope for humanity and I fear for my child’s future.

            There is an African President that called the fakeness of all of this by testing a papaya & a goat for Covid. The test showed up positive and he told everyone to go home and pray, haha, and told the WHO & The NWO to shove their masks and lockdowns. Business as usual in that country. One world leader has the balls to tell them to fuq off.

          2. You’ve reached a new level of absolute retardation. It was one thing when you spouted racist, sexist, silly conspiracy trash about SJWs and diversity pandering etc, but lmao.

          3. Actual scientists are usually pretty bright. An inventor has to be at least creative and hard-working.

            People repeating witless anti-Semitic nonsense are a lot of things, but “smart” isn’t one of them.

        2. IKR those 250,000 dead people in the US alone from covid are totally fake.

          Some of the most profoundly ignorant nonsense I’ve read, to date. Do you even understand what the mask is for?

    1. check out dina from the last of us 2 and the voice actress… THEY CUT HER TI*S OFF in the game. They make women look like wooden planks on purpuse.

    2. I noticed all the women in this title are flat chested and have that Alloy (horizon) face and haircut. Why do they hate boobs so much?
      I wonder if these companies are embracing this woke twitter bs in order to cut costs. A two prong approach.

      1. Get game journo and twitter mob brownie points by catering to feminists, simps, and wierdos. This leads to positive news stories.
      2. Have to make one set of armor interchangeable between the sexes. Maximizing profit for less work.

      Normally this type of sh*t leads to backlashes like TLou2, and middle ground or course correction. But since the media is in bed with wokeness, they frame all backlash as “reactionary hard right, bigots…reeeeeeeee”

  1. 2020 marketing is pure nonsense bs. And the worst… it’s working. Looks like the new era gamers like the test of sh*t. 1sr the last of woke p2, and now this garbage, and probably next is this infested Cyberlgbt 2077.
    Look… Look how they massacre our beloved hobby.

    1. Did you hear about this saw Tucker Carlson talking about it 2 nights ago: “Ubisoft has announced that they will be removing the guest appearance of a real-world journalist from Watch Dogs: Legion following accusations from fans that she holds transphobic beliefs,” Bounding into Comics reported back on November 9. The removal of Atlantic staff writer Helen Lewis’s voice-acting debut has made headlines as a textbook example of “Cancel Culture.” Fox News host Tucker Carlson commented on Tuesday’s show that Ubisoft had “erased her from the picture, as the Soviets once did.”

      1. Yeah bro i hear about that, Ubi right now is so fkdp, i see no hope left for this scam company, with the same BS ideas and the same games every year. I’m telling ya man, Ubi is in another level never achieved in failure. I hope it goes bankrupt in the near future. Sick & tired from Ubi and all it’s garbage games that stuck in the same cycle all this years.

  2. ac Valhalla : runs like garbage on a gooey treadmill powered by piss
    pc gamers: YES ALL OVER MY FACE, THANK YOU MOMMY UBISOFT SHT PERFORMANCE IS AWESOME.

    1. And this is your best work yet my friend. I want to laugh but I read and all I see is reality. But this is also some hilarious sh*t ???????? They are nuts man, no saving them.

  3. There is no female character just a viking without a beard.

    Just the other day anita scamkesian was whinning about the mandalorian having boob plate, someone pointed out that the american military had to make new female armor because women wearing the male armor was like struggling with their own armor, when they shut down the plates pushed their boobs up all the way up to their neck, the c*ck piece was bulky and hurt their knees, so they made new armor.

    Yet ubisoft thinks that they can just put a male armor to a female body in acy odyssey, this game and immortals phoenix rising, i suppose if you turn women into scrawny skiny short weak men with no t*ts, its possible.

    Seriously every game that comes out has one of those bulldyke character designs, the fact they are skinny makes it even worse.

  4. Well I’m enjoying it the world is far more interesting this time and it plays well, However, the animations still need a lot of work as does the combat. Also go up a few levels in difficulty because it is a bit too easy once you start getting the hang of things.

    It also runs really well on my rig which is not the best, not sure what you guys are moaning about the performance for. The game does see to need fast memory though as it improved my fps a lot and removed all stutter.

        1. Seriously are you new here? I treat people as they treat me there are plenty of people on here that I actually like. As they respond to differences of opinion in a mature way. Sadly most of those people have now left as I’m likely to do as it has degenerated into a little hate tribe on here.

          Besides I don’t hide my comment history like most of you do and you can see that other than this imature idiot, I haven’t fallen out with anyone else lately. So maybe check your facts.

          1. Unlike you i’ll never be a victim. I pity you as you’re clearly mentally challenged. Just go back to your parent’s basement.

          2. It was probably because you like to sit on that high horse of yours as you have yet again proven. Besides I just blocked the idiot like I have so many others on here.

            But really don’t take life so seriously peoples’s ramblings on here are usually nonsense anyway. It’s a shame my silly comments clearly bothered you so much. Worry about people whom you really care for not the muppets on here.

          3. It was probably because you like to sit on that high horse of yours as you have yet again proven. Besides I just blocked the idiot like I have so many others on here.

            But really don’t take life so seriously peoples’s ramblings on here are usually nonsense anyway. It’s a shame my silly comments clearly bothered you so much. Worry about people whom you really care for not the muppets on here.

          4. Lol no I’ve just blocked the idiot so no need to be so serious about it all. Everyone is so sensitive nowadays and offended by something jeez. Worry about real life and the people whom you actually care for not idiotic ramblings on this site. I obviously must have really hurt your feelings for you to remember so my apologies, we all have grumpy days.

  5. Wow, that screenshot up there in 1038×576 resolution has more detail than me playing the game at native 4k on my PC on the highest settings…. fcks sake, I can’t walk 10 feet away from my horse without seeing textures pop the fck out…. but hey “promo shots” right ?

  6. As a person who worked in the marketing, I can say that they stated that because the exact opposite happened, meaning that sales are less than expected, well how do they improve it? The first thing they have to do is to announce that the sales are increasing! and everyone is buying the game to create a FoMO situation for those who are hesitant to buy it. the second thing is to get the game into a sale.

    1. They do it every time new AC game or any other esteemed franchise game released. I am amazed John still reports on this.

  7. It’s 2020. People are home and very bored. They’ll play anything right now and nothing exciting has launched recently on PC. I see it as no more than that.
    I bought a PS5 just so I would have a few new games to play, despite owning a faster PC already. I think that is all this is. Says nothing about the game itself aside from it being a huge time sink.

    1. Nothing exciting launched with the PS5 too, a remake for a 2009 game and a stand-alone expansion/spin-off of Spiderman which is available on PS4 too, where are “the few new games” you’re talking about ? There’s only one PS5 exclusive game for now and it’s a remake

  8. more active players, of course they’ll have on a new game rather than a 2 year old game duh. Just spin and deception with the likes of jubisoft etc The scaling has a lot to do with jubisofts multilayered drm.

  9. Hope it’s lies cause the game is utter s**t and miles behind Origins, let alone Odyssey, let alone older AC games.

  10. Typical PR horsesh*t. the actual number or the game has failed, they said the same thing about Division 2 but months later they said hurr durr it didn’t sold well.

  11. Interesting for a game rife with glitches, performance problems, audio desynchs, embarrassingly outdated graphics, Dark Souls 1- era poor lighting, no option to control system HDR setting from within the game meaning you have to turn on HDR in Windows first, even though plenty of other games let you do it, laughably simplistic combat that’s embarrassing from a company that just released AC Odyssey 2 years ago which has a ton of variety in its very fluid combat, horrible character models and textures, and the return of some of the absolute worst elements of previous AC games like:

    – areas completely inaccessible “not available in current memory”
    – suspicion zones
    – fall damage
    – health packs
    – chasing down floating pieces of paper

    need I go on.
