Return to the world of Assassin's Creed Valhalla in early 2022 with not just the new DLC Dawn of Ragnarök, but also in a prequel story called Forgotten Myths, appearing only in comic books.

Both the new DLC and comic book are set in the Asgardian dreamworld from Assassin's Creed Valhalla, with Eivor taking on the mantle of the Norse god Odin. 

In Dark Horse Comics' three-issue series Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Forgotten Myths, three other figures from Norse mythology step forward - Thor, Baldr, and Heimdall. The warriors three come together after a fire giant from Muspelheim is looming at the borders of their lands, the Æsir. But when they take on the fire giant, the trio learns that an entire Muspel army is amassing ahead of an invasion - and they must try to find peace before a war breaks out across the Nine Realms.
