The biggest Assassin's Creed expansion ever launches March 10

A new Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok trailer gives a taste of what it's like to be a straight-up god in an Assassin's Creed game. And as it turns out, it looks a little like God of War.

The Dawn of Ragnarok DLC takes players to the Svartalfheim, the Dwarven realm and "the forge of Norse mythology," which has been invaded by the frost giants of Jotunheim and fire folk from Mepelheim. Full of magnificent structures, complex cave systems, and lakes of lava, it looks like a beautiful, albeit very dangerous place, but thankfully you've got all those fancy new god powers to protect you.

As Odin, whose gender expression can be changed at any time - much like Eivor's in the main campaign - you'll have access to game-changing, god-like powers you can cycle through strategically. One lets you shapeshift into a raven, another lets you reanimate slain foes to fight alongside you, and another lets you disguise yourself as an enemy and stealth your way through danger zones - that same power makes you immune to fire and lava. You can also teleport short distances and use freezing powers to shatter opponents into shards of ice. 

You can read a whole lot more about everything coming in the update with our in-depth Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok preview.

I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
