Assassin’s Creed fans have criticized developer Ubisoft for having as many armor sets in its premium store as in the “entire basic game”, available “only to people who are willing to spend money on extremely expensive microtransactions”.
In a reddit post blaring on Ubisoft, a Valhalla fan opined that the developer “just keeps adding and adding ridiculous shit to the microtransaction store, just taking money out of whales with content that only a small percentage of players will really enjoy”.
The post – which received more than 5000 votes in favor – adds that while some of these are “cosmetic things”, “they actually affect gameplay and, in some cases, are quite overwhelming”.
“There are 9 armors available that you can purchase through a normal game and use in the base game,” wrote u / Zuazzer. “This does not include Vinland clothing (which is exclusive only for a very small area of the game), the useless standard tunic you start with, the legacy Bayek clothing available in the Uplay reward system (which is a suit, not an armor ) or the set of armor available through the purchase of Amazon Prime. Of course, it also doesn’t include the weekly selection of items from the microtransaction store that you can purchase from the Reda game merchant.
“We, the other players, even those of us who have spent more than a hundred dollars on collector’s edition, have received very little content in the past few months. bug fixes.
“Why isn’t everyone talking about it? Just a few years ago, people would have made a living hell if a game company did this shit. That’s not okay, especially for a game that costs sixty dollars.”
Commentators on the topic reflected on the previous two installments of the series, Origins and Odyssey, but claim that the problem seems to be more striking this time, bringing unflattering comparisons to Middle-earth: Shadow of War, which was eventually forced to remove all microtransactions entirely.
For now, Ubisoft has not responded to the topic nor publicly commented on the subject.
ICYMI, Ubisoft recently released a major bug-fixing update for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Update 1.1.1 of the game is light on new features, but heavy on fixes, with dozens of common issues eliminated.

Ubisoft Connect achievements have also been fixed and should be unlocked correctly the next time you take any action related to the achievement after the unlock condition.
