Several days ago, Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, making it the sixteenth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Shortly after the game’s launch, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla received mostly-positive reviews thanks to its immersive gameplay and vast open-world environment.
In previous Assassin’s Creed games, Ubisoft has placed Easter eggs for players to discover, and these references range from games within Ubisoft’s umbrella or from other franchises such as The Lord of the Rings and The Legend of Zelda, to name a few. Now, some players have already discovered the Easter eggs in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and this time, Ubisoft has taken the Wizarding World of Harry Potter as its inspiration.
In the London area of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, players will encounter a cabin that is guarded by a snake. After killing the snake, players will be able to enter the cabin and stumble upon a strange list that has seven items on it: Diary, Ring, Locket, Cup, Diadem, Snake, and lastly, a mysterious item that is labeled ‘???’. Of course, Harry Potter fans would know that these items are references to the Horcruxes in the franchise, and the reason why the last one is labeled with question marks because the seventh Horcrux is Harry Potter himself.
Apart from the Horcruxes, players will also find a cup, a necklace, a book, a tiara, and a wand inside the cabin. Furthermore, the cabin also contains other Harry Potter Easter eggs such as four banners, each representing one of the four houses at Hogwarts: red for Gryffindor, green for Slytherin, Yellow for Hufflepuff, and blue for Ravenclaw. At the moment, it is unclear why Ubisoft has chosen the Harry Potter franchise for its Easter eggs this year, but it is worth noting that there is an upcoming RPG game called Hogwarts Legacy that is based on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Meanwhile, some players have reported some glaring issues with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Yesterday, Ubisoft released a hotfix to an issue that prevents players from triggering the Seer’s Solace quest in the game. However, the issues with the new game don’t stop there, given that other players are also encountering issues that corrupt their save data, forcing them to restart from the beginning. At the moment, the save data issue still has no solution, but Ubisoft has reassured fans that they are aware of the glitch and is currently working on a permanent fix.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is out now for the PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
