Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is getting New Game+ on 5 November. Ubisoft announced it in its Assassin’s Creed Fall 2026 Update, presented by Head of Content Jean Guesdon, and calls it one of the community’s most requested features.
The update arrives as Valhalla passes 40 million players. Ubisoft says it’s bringing the “(very, very, very) long-awaited” mode to celebrate that milestone.

Could other Assassin’s Creed games get the same?
Ubisoft is asking players to share feedback on the update on Discord, Reddit and its social channels. It says that feedback will help inform future discussions about bringing similar updates to other Assassin’s Creed games, though it hasn’t named any.
