Although that particular trailer hypes up the Xbox side of things, you don't need to worry if you're a PlayStation-based gamer. The official Assassin's Creed website has confirmed that the new game will indeed launch on both PS5 and PS4.

It remains to be seen if Sony has its own Smart Delivery feature that will allow you to transfer games and progress from the PS4 to the PS5, but we really hope that does happen!

Nope. Assassin's Creed Valhallahas not been announced as a Nintendo Switch game, with the iconic handheld/household hybrid console left out of the announcement altogether.
