Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is having its release date pushed up by one week. Ubisoft’s upcoming sequel will now launch on November 10 alongside the Xbox Series X and S.

Ubisoft announced the news directly after Microsoft revealed the release date and price of the Xbox Series X. Originally scheduled for a November 17 release date, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is now the next generation’s big launch title.

The announcement tweet notes that the game will launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and PC on that date as well. The PlayStation 5 isn’t mentioned, but that may change as details about the console’s launch are expected soon.

Xbox One owners can upgrade the game to Xbox Series X for no additional cost, as Ubisoft will utilize the console’s Smart Delivery feature for the title.

Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players.
