Earlier this week, NBA 2K21 players noticed that the latest game in 2K’s annual franchise had become a touch bit…annoying. Unskippable adverts for Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 VR headset had been placed into loading screens, and even if you were running the game on an SSD on PC, you had to watch the whole advert before you’d be allowed to start playing a game of five on five.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will receive two major expansions of narratively driven gameplay, one of which will focus on nature’s original hippies the druids, the second casting a spotlight on the French.
