With the end of 2020 on the horizon, several publishers are gearing up to give back to their large communities, withthe Epic Games Store slated to hand out a whopping 15 free gamesstarting next week. However, it seems another publisher is looking to join in on the festive fun, with Ubisoftannouncing it will be holding a “Happy Holidays” event from December 14 to 18 that will allow players to grab some free goodies.
The four-day promotion will offer fans the opportunity to snag a new piece of free content every 24 hours, with Ubisoft promising it will be delivering redeemable in-game items for a number of its biggest releases. Today’s offering is a slice of new content forAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,so those currently embroiled in the high-octane Viking adventure will have to make sure they hop over to theUbisoftsite before the day’s over to claim it.

The small piece of downloadable content comes in the form of a “rewards pack,” which bundles both the Bayek Legacy Outfit and the Seafarer Settlement pack into one package. The former is easily the more enticing of the pair, allowing players to suit up in an outfit that homagesAssassin’s Creed Origins’protagonist Bayek. The gifts available to players will reset at 8 AM ET each day, so those who want to get themselves an iconic costume and some other great goodies still have a while yet to pick up the slice of free content.
Luckily for those who don’t ownAssassin’s Creed Valhallaand want to secure themselves the DLC for when they do get their hands on it, Ubisoft has made it so players can claim items for games they don’t yet own. All they have to do is jump onto the Ubisoft website, log into or register an account, head over to the Happy Holidays promotion, and press redeem. The entire idea is a fun little Holiday surprise for Ubisoft’s biggest fans and one that’s sure to get the community talking over the next few days.
As for Ubisoft itself, the company has had a pretty strong end of 2020, withWatch Dogs Legionlaunching at the end of October,Assassin’s Creed Valhallalanding in mid-November, andImmortals: Fenyx Risingarriving earlier this month. All three games garnered decent reviews, withAssassin’s Creed Valhallaparticularly managing to rouse audiences with its expansive world, brutal combat, and striking next-generation visuals.The game is set to get a patch tomorrowthat will work on stability, quest fixes, and more.
