Ubisoft didn't expound on why it delayed the expansion's rollout, but it's worth noting that a lot of Valhalla players across platforms have been complaining about a buggy experience. While some reported coming across just one or two bugs, others encountered frequent crashes and other major issues that prevent them from making progress. PC Gamer says the developer even had to remove parts of the Ostara Festival seasonal event last month, because they were causing the game to crash.

The Wrath of the Druids expansion pack will have you exploring the forests of Ireland wile hunting an ancient druidic cult called the Children of Danu. It's already included in the price of AC Valhalla's season pass, but it will also be available as a standalone purchase.
