In a move that is less and less surprising in our current COVID pandemic reality where everyone is working from home and major leaks spring quicker than can be plugged, developer Ubisoft is throwing copyright claims left and right to contain a full 30 minutes of an Assassin?s Creed Valhalla footage leak that appeared on Reddit late Sunday night. Most attempts by posters to circulate the footage have been shut down by the publisher (which is why we won?t be embedding it here), but the gameplay was out long enough for fans and detractors alike to pick it apart and glean some information. A hefty leak such as this on top of the news that the Valhalla Creative Director is stepping down after infidelity allegations is making for a bad summer for Ubisoft.
The irony in this leak comes after Ubisoft first announced Assassin?s Creed Valhalla via a teaser, then a cinematic trailer, then promised to show gameplay at the Inside Xbox event in May, but instead showed a highly stylish ?in-engine? trailer that wasn?t actually what most players would consider to be ?gameplay.? Ubisoft apologized for that shortly after, and many expect that we?ll finally see the actual gameplay at Ubisoft?s upcoming showcase next week.
