To celebrate the occasion of its release, Ubisoft has added an April Fools’ cosmetic in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The new addition in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a Rabbids bobblehead, offers a fun new way for players to explore Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s expansion in the British Isles.
AC Valhalla April Fools Arrived Early
The amount of post-launch support and DLC content Assassin’s Creed Valhalla received is unusual, given it has only been two years since it was launched. Previously, titles were released on a one-year schedule. However, Ubisoft has decided to take its time with the next generation of Assasin’s Creed titles to keep this old game alive as long as possible.
The comical addition, April Fool’s surprise, was first noticed by a Reddit user Alert_Chart, who claimed to have received a Rabbid head to use while playing. The Rabbids is another key Ubisoft franchise so it was fun to see a Rabbid in this unusual crossover.
We don’t know if the Rabbid head is a permanent addition or available for a limited time, so players should grab it while it’s still free for the taking.
In other news, for gamers who weren’t as delighted with the RPG mechanics of new AC games, Ubisoft has promised to return the series to its roots with their next installment, Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It was confirmed by AC Mirage’s Director, Stephane Boudon that he was ready to revisit the series’ origin with the new game.
Ubisoft has yet to reveal any further details about the title. This is a bit concerning for some fans as they think it may cause the provisional release date for 2023 to be pushed forward. Ubisoft has also confirmed its commitment to the franchise by announcing three more games–Assassin’s Creed Red, Jade, and Hexe–all in the upcoming years.
