But it will be a little smaller than its old size.
Ahead of the 1.4.1 title update, Ubisoft warned that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will need to be completely reinstalled when the patch goes live next week. This means you should be prepared for a download of around 77GB on PC, but the total will apparently be slightly less than the pre-update size of the current game, excluding DLC due to some optimizations.
And these optimizations are not trivial. A Ubisoft community manager said the 1.4.1 update will "offer faster loading screens, improved world data streaming and overall runtime performance" as well as prepare for future DLC and expansions.
“Data restructuring,” as Ubisoft calls it, means that an update that would otherwise add about 34GB to the total file size will actually reduce it by roughly a gigabyte, which is fine – though if you log into Valhalla every day you probably have a wait ahead of you.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla launched a year ago, but it looks like there are some big additions on the way. According to data mining by YouTuber J0nathan, a character from an earlier Assassin's Creed game will appear in an upcoming questline.
Meanwhile, if the base game's 100+ hours of content isn't enough, another leak , He claimed that a “massive DLC expansion” is coming in March. Reportedly, it's probably "God of War-style" which could mean a more focused campaign.
