A day ahead of Ubisoft Forward, a deleted ad on Instagram has leaked the release date for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The Viking-themed installment will launch on November 17 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

The ad, which was posted by the game’s official Italian account, showed no new gameplay but did end with the release date front and center. We’ve known since its reveal that Valhalla was scheduled to launch sometime this year, but now we have an exact date.

Ubisoft has struggled containing its announcements to its own event, taking place on July 12. Far Cry 6, staring Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, was leaked with a premature listing on PSN, and later confirmed with a short teaser by Ubisoft. Since then the full reveal trailer has leaked too, which will likely be shown at Ubisoft Forward.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will also launch on Xbox Series X and PS5 and supports Smart Delivery on the former. Far Cry 6 will support a free digital upgrade from PS4 to PS5, so it’s likely the same will be true for Valhalla. Release dates for the next-gen versions have not been revealed yet.

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout will arrive for PS4 and PC on August 4.

Announced at Devolver Direct, we got another look at the neon-hued 60-player minigame battler, and saw how big its selection of un lockable costumes and wild events would be.

Pre-order the game on Steam, and you’ll also get an exclusive Gordon Freeman Half-Life outfit (complete with the now weirdly fashionable headcrab hat).

In our hands-on with Fall Guys last year, we described it as a playable game show disguised as a battle royale.

Olija, a 2D action-adventure centred around a mystical harpoon, has been announced for a Fall 2020 release on PC and Nintendo Switch.

Revealed at today’s Devolver Direct conference, the pixel-strewn adventure looks equal parts haunting and horrible, seeing a shipwrecked hero called Faraday attempting to escape the hostile country of Terraphage.

You can try a playable demo on Steam right now.

Olija’s the work of one man, Thomas Olsson, under the guise of Skeleton Crew Studio. It’s been in development for some time, and is inspired by the likes of the original Prince of Persia and Another World.

Carrion will be released on July 23 for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC.

Announced at Devolver Direct, the ‘reverse horror’ game sees you stalking the corridors of a lab as an eer-growing tentacle creature, slaughtering its human occupants as you go. A playable demo is out on Steam now.

In a hands-on last year, we called it the horror movie monster game we’ve always wanted.

Devolver Digital has released Devolverland Expo, a miniature first-person game that includes trailers for games shown off in today’s Devolver Direct broadcast.

Out now for free on Steam, Devolverland Expo takes you through a ruined convention hall filled with aggressive robots, and offers missions, puzzles and items to find along the way. Ultimately, your goal is to grab Devolver swag from game booths – while watching trailers for upcoming Devolver games along the way.

The trailer also looks as though it’s covered in Steam codes – it might be worth freeze-framing and grabbing one of those if you can.

Another Devolver Direct, another opportunity to question ourselves about whether it was something we should ever have been allowed to watch.

Thankfully, we also got a raft of new gameplay and announcements, all of which you can find below:

Devolverland Expo

Described as a “first-person marketing simulator”, this free mini-game places you in abandoned conference center and has you fighting and puzzling your way to find Devolver-themed goodies, including trailers of games shown in the Direct.

Shadow Warrior 3

We got our first look at Shadow Warrior 3 gameplay, showing off the 2021 game’s gunplay, platforming, melee combat, and a range of ludicrous demons designs to disembowel.

Olija

Coming this Fall to PC and Nintendo Switch, Olija is a Prince of Persia-inspired action-adventure featuring a shipwrecked captain, and a country full of people who really don’t want him to be there.

Fall Guys

The 60-player battle royale/game show is coming to PC and PS4 on August 4, and we got a look at its many minigames and costumes – including a pre-order exclusive Half-Life outfit to grab on PC.

Carrion

The tentacle-propelled reverse-horror game is finally arriving on PC, Switch and Xbox One in just two weeks, on July 23.

Serious Sam 4

We got another peek at the absurdly action-packed FPS ahea dof its August release on PC and Stadia.

Blightbound

This online and local multiplayer dungeon brawler is coming to Steam Early Access on July 29, and we got a look at its three classes, multiple worlds, puzzles, and lots and lots of combat.

Weird West

We got a fresh look at this new, isometric immersive sim from the co-creators of Dishonored and Prey, Weird West is due in 2021. Director Raphael Colantonio showed off the action-RPG, which has you playing as 5 gunslingers in a fantastical take on the Old West.

The first gameplay footage of Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass has debuted during the Devolver Digital Direct stream, showing off upcoming game’s wild, chaotic violence. It looks a lot like previous games in the series, with a lot of enemies on screen at once, but with updated graphics.

You’ll once again be playing as Sam “Serious” Stone, the leader of the Earth Defense Force (no relation). This is a prequel, and the focus is yet again on strafing and backing away from enormous hordes while firing everything you have into enemies and watching them explode.

You can check it out for yourself in the trailer below.

The game offers up a level of fidelity that wasn’t possible in earlier entries in the series. As with all mainline Serious Sam games, it’s developed by Croteam.

The game is coming in August for PC and Stadia. A specific date has not been set yet.
