Assassin's Creed Valhalla is launching this year on current and next-gen consoles, including Xbox Series X and PS5, as well as PC. Like previous Ubisoft games, it will be released on PC through Ubisoft's Uplay service, but it will also be available to purchase on the Epic Games Store--instead of Steam.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Valhalla will only be sold on Uplay and the Epic Games Store as its exclusive third-party option. The franchise's return after a year away is sure to be a big draw for Epic's digital store, which has seen an increasing number of third-party games launch as exclusives over the last year.
Valhalla will become the first mainline new installment in Assassin's Creed series to skip Steam. It will also be the first game in the series to launch for next-generation platforms. 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey and the rest of the earlier games are available to buy on Steam now.
