Assassin’s Creed Valhalla livestreamed event Odin’s Hootenanny arrives on November 6

Ubisoft will promote their forthcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla game with a special livestream event this Friday (November 6).

Titled Odin’s Hootenanny, the event will feature some exclusive content and gameplay footage from the Xbox Series X version of the game. Danny Wallace, who portrays Shaun Hastings in the game series, will host the event. In a statement, Wallace said:

“I’ve been a huge Assassin’s Creed fan from the beginning and delighted to be part of the series, and Valhalla looks like it’ll be the best so far. So when Ubisoft tempted me out of the house with ravens, skulls and axes, how could I turn them down?”

You can check out a detailed look at what’s going down below. The livestream will begin at 12 p.m. EST/9 a.m. PST on Twitch and YouTube.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be released on November 10 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One. A PlayStation 5 version will drop on November 12. Pre-orders can be made here.
