Microsoft recently revealed that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be launching on November 10, 2020 for $499/$299, respectively. Preorders are set to go up for both consoles on September 22.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla will support Xbox Smart Delivery, so those that purchase the game on Xbox One will get a free upgrade on Xbox Series X/S, and it will run at 4K on the Xbox Series X. It's unclear if Sony or Ubisoft has an upgrade path in mind for the PS4 and PS5.
Ubisoft's upcoming Viking epic is set to release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Stadia.
Conquer new lands for glory and honor
After endless wars ravage Norway and resources are scarce, you'll lead your clan to the shores of England in the hopes of finding a new home. But not everyone is keen on having Vikings around, and King Alfred of Wessex will do all he can to keep you from settling.
