Dark Horse announced a comic spinoff for Assassin's Creed Valhalla (thanks, IGN) that's meant to act as both a prequel to Dawn of Ragnarok and a follow-up to the original prequel comic, Song of Glory.

Alex Freed (Dragon Age: The Silent Grove) is the writer, and Martín Túnica is the illustrator.

Dawn of Ragnarok Release Date
Dawn of Ragnarok releases March 10, 2022 on all platforms where AC Valhalla is playable. There's a separate update available from December 14 that introduces a crossover event with Kassandra from AC Odyssey, which you can check out below.
AC Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok Story
Plenty. The 35-hour-long narrative takes Eivor to the Norse homelands, which Ubisoft said is roughly a third the size of England in the base game, as they become entangled in divine wars and the unravelling of myths.
Only this time, you're not Eivor - well, not completely. Dawn of Ragnarok sees Eivor fall into a deep sleep and remember their previous life as Odin. Ubisoft said Eivor-Odin will face a "new threat to Asgard from the combined forces of the Jotunheim frost giants and the demonic forces of Muspelheim led by the Allfather’s greatest nemesis, Surtr."
True to what the earlier rumors suggested, Odin will travel to Svartleheim and recruit dwarvish aid for his cause.
Everything New In AC Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok
Plenty, though much remains shrouded in mystery. Here's how Ubisoft's Mariana Gosteva describes it in a PlayStation Blog post:
Odin uses the Hugr-Rip bracer to pull off classic Assassin's Creed stealth kills, and Gosteva teased a new system that lets players use the power of their enemies in new, strategic ways. While Ubisoft remained coy about specifics, there will be new weapon classes and abilities for Odin to unlock, alongside his unique ability to turn into a raven.
