Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories

Assassin's Creed Crossover Stories is a crossover between Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and Assassin's Creed: Valhalla featuring the protagonists of each game, Kassandra and Eivor Varinsdottir, respectively. Released on 14 December 2021, it was first unveiled by Ubisoft on the Assassin's Creed Youtube channel along the announcement of the Dawn of Ragnarök expansion on 13 December 2021.
The crossover saw both games receive a new free story arc update, with "Those Who Are Treasured" in Odyssey that had Kassandra travel to the island of Korfu to explore the aftermath of obtaining the immortality-granting Staff of Hermes Trismegistus, while "A Fated Encounter" in Valhalla had Eivor travel to the Isle of Skye, where she encounters Kassandra.
This expansion was only made possible due to coincidental timings because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Marc-Alexis Côté revealed to , developers at Ubisoft's Montreal headquarters usually had a closing process after a game and any applicable expansions were completed, where the computers that worked on art, animation, models, etc. would be boxed up, taped shut, and put in storage, from where the teams actually hoped to never have to reopen them. However, when staff left their offices and shifted to as part of Quebec's , the boxes still had not been made, despite it having been many months since Odysseys second extensive downloadable expansion The Fate of Atlantis released its third and final installment The Fate of Atlantis: Judgment of Atlantis in mid-July 2019. This uncharacteristically left Odysseys assets still available for use.
After Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot called and asked if Odyssey was finished, Côté confirmed it and hung up, only to remember that the computers were still not in storage. He then called Guillemot again to pitch the idea, not just because of his own and the player community's reactions to Melissanthi Mahut's performance as Kassandra, but also to try and draw more players to Valhalla from those who still lingered in Odyssey. When interviewed by , Ubisoft Quebec's associate creative director Clémence Nogrix said that the company "[hoped] that this could prove and potentially give a green light to something in the future", but would not confirm whether another similar project was in development elsewhere.
