After looking through the game files ofAssassin’s Creed Valhallain early May, French content creator J0nathan shared the maps of the game’s two planned expansionsWrath of the DruidsandSiege of Paris.A couple of weeks later, when the first DLC released, J0nathan’s leaked information about the map was proven to be almost entirely correct, as has happened multiple times in the past. The YouTuber has now shared information that a third, unannounced expansion forValhallais currently in development.
So far, Ubisoft has only revealed two expansions on its roadmap forAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,which according to the PlayStation Store should both be released by November 9, or exactly one year after the game’s release. That doesn’t, however, preclude the possibility of a third content expansion being in the works, perhaps for individual purchase or a second season pass.

Further delving into the files ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,J0nathan has uncovered information that hints strongly at a third expansion code named Meteor being developed by Ubisoft Sofia, the company’s Bulgarian studio. There are three game files with particularly revealing names: DLC_EXP1_Ireland, DLC_EXP2_Francia, and DLC_EXP3_Meteor. Obviously, the first two files refer toWrath of the Druids,which is set in Ireland, andSiege of Parisis the unreleased second expansionthat takes place in France.
The idea that Ubisoft Sofia is behind Meteor’s development is also supported by information in the game files. Grouped with a file called “ACK_EXP3Meteor_Prototypes” are several lines of code that contain the letters “TST_SOF,” referring presumably to a test of the DLC content and the Sofia studio. If this is true, it means that Sofia has been diverted from its work on anunannouncedAssassin’s Creedgameabout Richard the Lionheart, code named Stella, which J0nathan leaked several months back.
As for the story of Meteor itself, J0nathan believes that the third expansion will focus on Norse mythology and center around Muspelheim, or North Africa. There is a game file that contains the words “LocationWorldEntry_ACK_DLC_Muspelheim,” although J0nathan admits that this might refer to removed or abandoned game content. There is a theory that inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,each of the Norse realms corresponds to a real-world location and, as confirmed on Reddit by Darby McDevitt, the game’s narrative director,Muspelheim corresponds to “all of Northern Africa.”
J0nathan believes that Meteor was not initially planned by Ubisoft, because information about it did not appear in the game’s files until after a content update at the end of March. This sudden change in trajectory, he speculates, may be because of therecord-breaking success experienced byAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Assassin’s Creed Valhallais available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
