ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA: DAWN OF RAGNARÖK Original Game Soundtrack Preview Debuts: Score by Stephanie Economou

Ubisoft Music and Lakeshore Records have released ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA: DAWN OF RAGNARÖK–Original Game Soundtrack Preview!  This three-track EP featuring game score by Stephanie Economou (ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA: THE SIEGE OF PARIS, JUPITER’S LEGACY), gives fans a taste of what to expect from the latest expansion in the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla universe.

DAWN OF RAGNARÖK will take ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA players on a new adventure into Norse mythology on March 10, when it launches on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC, Stadia, and Amazon Luna. Unfolding in the vast dwarven realm of Svartalfheim, DAWN OF RAGNARÖK is an expansion that focuses on Odin (aka Havi), who delves into this strange new land on a quest to rescue their son, Baldr, from the unkillable fire giant Surtr.

Set thousands of years before the events of ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA (and experienced as a vision by Eivor), DAWN OF RAGNARÖK is the series’ biggest expansion yet, with an estimated 35-plus hours of content. Svartalfheim is a huge realm filled with massive dwarven buildings, literal mountains of gold, and a skyline dominated by the twisting branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. It’s a world under occupation by Surtr’s forces, the Muspel fire giants, who’ve allied with the Jotnar frost giants to hunt for powerful relics hidden throughout Svartalfheim.  More at Ubisoft.com.
